I planted the last of my spring bulbs and some super cheap bare root astilbe I got on mail order today following our first frost of the season last night. I'm not sure if the astilbe will make it but everything else should be OK. I had gotten all my major transplanting done a couple of weeks ago and it rained almost every day after that so I was very lucky about not having to water much at all.
Our center "island" in the front yard is now completely moved - all that remains is a pine tree, the rose of sharon and the weeping cherry that are now permanent. I transplanted my Blue Prince holly next to its mate and so far it loves the new location. Also the peonies, which seem to be doing well even though I know I can't expect them to flower for a couple of years. And finally, I moved the giant butterfly bush to the back pool bed and I'm hoping that will do alright since I've heard they don't like to be moved.
I have a bunch of stuff blooming for fall and have taken no pictures, so I hope to do that soon. In the meantime, here are some random garden happenings from June and July - I didn't take any pictures in August or September unfortunately.
Lavender and daisies with cinquefoil, which flowered all spring and summer:
Full tea rose recovery, it also flowered all summer:
New addition - rose campion with blanketflower:
