Welp, struck out on getting rue anemone (anemonella thalictroides) at the Woodlands Garden plant sale.
They had a synonym for it, thalactricum thalictroides, on the plant list, but actually had meadow rue (thalactricum pubescens).
Picked up 3 woodland asters (eurybia divaricata), a foamflower (tiarella cordifolia), and a great blue lobelia (lobelia siphilitica) at Swallowtail Center. And got a free bee balm (monarda bradburyana) thrown in!
Fall is around the corner, and it’s about time to execute on the planning and preparation I’ve already done to plant our side steps bed.
These are the plants I plan to purchase.
I finished mapping the sunlight for this year’s side steps planting project a few weeks ago, and today I prepped the beds. The only other thing to do between now and fall planting time is to test the drip irrigation.
I don’t plan on planting our side steps area until next year, but I have some tasks to prepare for that. First among those: mapping the space.
