So today I had a weather window + energy to take care of some of those issues I've discussed in my last post. To make a long story short, I thinned out some plants in my east wall bed that weren't doing so well, mainly by moving them to the newly cut rounded corner of the west fence bed. Included in these moves were the pink & white knockout roses, and the orange/yellow/double-delight tea roses (scrawny and destroyed by insects). I also moved there and divided a clump of purple coneflower, Red Fox Speedwell, pink Chrysanthemum, and a couple of perennial bachelor buttons. Back in the east wall bed, to refill the semi-blank areas left by the moves, I arranged four of my hydrangeas that were struggling in their previous locations. These included the Lemon Daddy, one of the Blushing Brides, a pink Endless Summer, and my Forever & Ever Early Sensation. These were arranged in sets of BB+ES / FE+LD on either side of my air conditioning unit. All that was left after that was a couple of small spaces between the two sets, which I filled in with small clumps of black-eyed susans.
