I have decided, after visiting The Perennial Patch and seeing the owner Shirley Sprague's perennial gardens, my border needs to be widened a foot or two for some depth. I think that will be a new project for next year though as I am still trying to fill in what I do have. This is only our second year on our new property and I have been digging up and transplanting in different locations to get the look I want. The border was already in place when we moved in and I have a long way to go to have it look as full as I would like. I've added quite a few this year but they will not have much of a show until next year or the year after. Here is a picture of the length of the border and some of my favorite sections. There are Sweet Peas growing behind the purple Liatris.
You have a great start ... I just a ton of iris I am going to start putting in ... I am trying after all these years to put in more perrenials vs my normal annuals every year. TTFN ~Marydon

I am a mother of 3 daughters and grandmother of 8, 6 boys and 2 girls. I love to sew, paint, garden and enjoy many different crafts. Ladybug is actually my Scottie's name and she gives my hubs and I many hours of pleasure. I dream up many ideas of which a few I manage to make happen. My husband is very talented and has a few hobbies of his own so he puts up with my many hobbies and the mess they leave behind. I cannot say this blog is about anything in particular except our love of home, family and friends with a few interesting things sprinkled in here and there.
