Well, I hope it's true, that it's better late than never, 'cause I finally JUST got the massive weeding done today. Pheeww!! :) Weeded, seeded, mulched.. and ran out of mulch, LOL!! Found a nice spot for the Wintersweet, the seeds of which I have Gita to thank for! She will be at the opposite end of The Big Bed, directly opposite Ms. Paeony.... assuming, of course, that she doesn't mind being direct-sown. < =/ I had tons of little packets and bunches of collections of "I have no idea anymore what these are" seeds from deadheading at work, so I just used the "Sprinkle and Pray" method of sowing... the whole bed is sown with grazillions of seeds, thanks you you guys!! Also, I discovered that:

None of my Hellebores made it. :(
I found a Heuchera that I forgot I planted.
Brunera is very happy where she is.
Ms. Paeony has a BUNCH of eyes and is just smothered in growth!
None of my Dahlias made it.. guess it was just too darned cold.
One of my Irises has a bud!! < =D

Pics.... I don't dare show any "before", that's just too embarrassing.

1- Iris budding. I don't remember for the life of me which one she is, but I don't care! =)
2- Happy little Brunera
3- Busy little Paeony
4- Close-up of all the growing going on on Ms. P. (by the way, she is "Pink Blush")
5- Irises also on the other side of the porch going nuts.. and that blank spot to the left, right up against the porch... Newly planted Crocosmias "Montbretia Mixture". Can't wait 'til they come up! =)
