Today, late afternoon:
Plum tomatoes transplanted.
Check out the new flower garden!
Clockwise from top left: Purple coneflower, evening primroses, clematis (surrounded by bugleweed), portulaca (at 3 o'clock), bidens (front right), purslane (front left), and petite marigolds in the center.
The purple coneflower was surviving in a shady area, I moved it on impulse. The two evening primroses were also added on impulse...I used to have garden beds full of them, but when we had the siding replaced a few years ago the workers trampled the plants into oblivion. I found a couple survivors the following Spring, transplanted them into my wheelbarrow planter, and have been waiting for them to spread enough to start repopulating the flower beds.
I would hate to lose them, they are descendants of the ones my mother grew in her gardens.
