This bed is next to the meadow that we mow with the lawnmower. I would hesitate to call it lawn. It's quack grass, crab grass,yarrow,thyme , bed straw, speedwell and dandelions. Yesterday Ed dug the invaders out of this bed and replanted new divisions of Robin's Plantain ,wood betony and and agrimony.
The job was chosen because it has been so dry here. The loose dry dirt made pulling the roots of the quack grass out of the plant crowns possible. Many buckets of weeds and leftover plants went to the compost. Today's rain was perfect for the new divisions . They're off to a nice new start.

I love the pic at the top of the blog. What are the round pink flowers in the foreground?
ReplyDeleteThey are poppies. Search for the "Poppies from the Past " post. Many people who visit the garden request the seed.
