I don’t think the amount you use really matters.. We mixed the salt and the water first.
I’ve often bought really tiny plants that only took a few months before they were five times the size!I might be an impatient girl, but even I’ll admit that a little bit of patience pays off sometimes..
Borrow from a friend, or another one of your own flower gardens.. Don’t forget about the magic of splitting your perennials!Some plants actually need to be dug up and split every few years to keep them really healthy.If a friend has a plant you like, it can be dug up in the early Fall, or the early Spring and half of it can be replanted in your garden.
A lot of flowering shrubs can be grown either from little shoots that they put out around their base, or from clippings of their branches.I have quite a few perennials around the property that I hope to dig up this Fall and maybe add in to some of the bare spots.. That little purple-ish heuchera as well as some of the hostas all came from other gardens on the property..
So here’s how progress is looking on our little perennial garden experiment so far:.
We cleared away some of the excess weeds and old, dead bits from last year, set out all the plants where we wanted them, and dug in!You’re the best.
I reserve the right to change things in this room ever-so-slightly and then re-reveal it to you in the future if the mood strikes me too.Because this is my blog and I say so.
So let’s get to it!.Welcome to my happy place!
