In over my head??.

I believe I told you I need to start attending a 12 step program for plant addicts.
I’ve done it again. After snapping up those cute Little Lanterns columbines, I went back and bought some lovely epimedium rubrum (3), my first ever, and no, I hadn’t finished planting the columbines. And NO, the High Country Garden order isn’t in the ground yet either. And YES, there is a so-called holding area where some plants go and die and others wither for a long time. Can I help it if I got a flat of echinacea ‘Sundown’ last October, $2 per plant, normally $8? OK, so only half survived and that makes them $4 each and I still consider that a bargain.
If I could just get that new bed dug and the retaining wall in……………….I know JUST where I want to plant them all…………
I told myself tonight I am soooooooooo far ahead of the game. It is just the 9th of May, some stuff is already in the ground! Usually I am scrambling to finish up by Memorial Day. I have 17 days left.

Who says a kitchen garden can't be beautiful? Vegetable gardens don't have to be practical, uninspired, regimented rows of vegetables. You can create an edible garden that is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palette.
