Once the weather warmed up and it dried out a bit...I headed out to do more creek clean up. It really is starting to take shape and all the dreams I had for it can now become a reality!
I have also been taking time the last couple of days to print out all of my blog entries. I find it so helpful to look back on the past pictures, successes, and failures when thinking of the future in my garden. I plan on putting all the pages in a binder and keeping them for future reference. Of course, that means lots of time at the computer, so I am looking through all the catalogs that have been flooding my mailbox and I have been ordering some fun things!
I placed a great order today with Van Bourgondein......

em>The main thing I am excited about is a "Great Gunnera" for the creek!
This is of course, the pict from the website, but I have very high hopes that the bare root that will arrive in the mail, will look like this beauty one day! The website said it is perfect for creek banks and likes wet feet. The leaves are said to get up to 6 feet accross!!!!
I
also ordered a Kamata-nishiki tree peony (which I have always wanted) and a collection of hardy fuchsias!

SO FUN!
Tomorrow
I will work on more creek clean out so that when my goodies arrive I can put them in the ground...
