We've also acquired (free!) Crocosmia and Himalayan poppies and created a new flower bed and purchased a peach tree to put in it too, it looks fantastic right now! Yesterday was "clean up the yard day" and Jarett, the NGP, even helped by hacking down the ever-encroaching Japanese Knotwood and replanting the Euphorbia stumps along the edge of the back yard. If they live we will have a beautiful hedge there next summer. Jen and I planted the new tomatoes, re-did the worm bin; putting it in a rubbermaid tub this time and generally cleaned things up everything looks awesome!
Things are finally starting to grow too; we have flowers on tomatillos, tomatoes, zucchini, and garlic. We do have a horrible aphid infestation in the Italian plum tree we have to take care of but other than that things are looking good and the chickens are happy.
Here's Jen and our new flower bed - the peach tree is on the right corner. I'm hoping it will double in size next year.
