I needed more of the relaxing sewing of strip sets like I showed yesterday. I made 11 more blocks while watching 2 more episodes of a TV show.
Earlier in the day yesterday I planted the remaining perennials I got on sale for 62 cents each. On the left is the before shot of the area and on the right after 4 Asian Lilies were planted.
This is another area I worked on. The left photo is before starting and the right after I finished planting 3 Perennial Carnations which I thought were Dianthus. I moved the rocks out about 6" and dug out the Creeping Charlie, Violets and some grass. I dug out 2 tree roots from volunteer Redbud trees too.
You are wasting no time getting those blocks stitched up! It's that time of year here where there is not a lot of fresh color in our landscapes. I am really enjoying your garden pictures.
We finally got some rain here, so it's a good time to try and spiff up my flowers. You've inspired me to clean out some of my violets. I just love them, but they're taking over. The strip sets look like the perfect easy project, post garden work.
How lush and green your garden is looking. I love to see Dianthus plants- Carnations used to be my favourite plants for a vase; now I don't mind anything. This year is the first time I've not bought any new plants for my garden - I've spent more time on my sewing so I've not been too lazy :)
