Long day of work

Yesterday we spent most of the day working in the yard. Jacqueline made two trips to haul back 30 bags of pink bark mulch, and we picked up a few new perennials as well.

Splendens Common Thrift, Grace Ward Lithodora, and Silvermound Artemisia went in by the mailbox. Another silvermound artemisia went in on the walkway by the front door. Then we mulched *everything*.

Stuff from last year is finally coming up - Jack in the pulpits, lots of hostas, a couple oddly planted day lilies. Oh ya, I tried splitting our favorite hosta, by the new part i split off looks droppy and sad. We watered it well, I wonder if its going to make it. I hope so.

Finally, we started a small patch outside the kitchen window for our blueberry bushes. The ground was orange and rock solid, so we dumped in quite a bit of cow manure and soil conditioner. Hopefully they take well.
