Clear skies overhead = back to work outside. Spent longer than originally thought I would, but in gardening this usually pays off! I decided to re-work the northeast corner of the property in order to accomodate the new hydrangea (rear), the two new dianthus (middle), and the pink gaura (front). This required moving the foxglove I had there to a different location, moving a fire&ice hosta 6 inches to the left, and moving a couple new sprigs of mexican primrose from the area. Being a windy day, it was a bit hard to work but you deal with the hand you're given.

After, the northeast corner was complete, I moved to the west wall bed, which is mostly shady. There I made room for the clearance bleeding heart plant, by dividing down a few hostas there and relocating a few baby astilbe

.

Continuing to fear for the safety of the three "florist hydrangeas" that had been getting too much sun, I decided to move them to the south end of the east fence in the back yard. There are now two pink Merritt's Surpremes with a Nikko Blue in between. Hopefully they will shoot up large this summer, get well established, and make it strong into next year! This means I will be dropping from a 6 to a 5 hydrangea arrangement in the north rear bed, going to annabelle-dooley-x-dooley-annabelle sequence.

Finally, I remembered to level the two 2x2 patio stones that lead from the northeast corner of the lawn to the compost pile. I used a bucket of the sand that was originally used to level them on the makeshift patio in front of the addition room.
