After killing all those black-eyed Susans, I found myself with some wide-open spaces in The Big Bed in the front. So last week, I made a little trip to my local nursery and walked out with, uh, a little more than I intended. As usual, of course, I can't tell you what all my purchases are specifically since I don't have the handy little plastic cards with me. Forgive the weird spacing; Blogger is not cooperating with me today.

Some aster things. The blooms are so beautiful and unusual, and as soon
as I got it in the ground, I had a dragonfly and bees checking them out. |

These guys. They are very droopy and I think I need to stake them or
something. Also, they are very very sensitive to the droughty weather. |

This is hard to see, but I put in three lavenders here, enclosing
my yellow rose in a triangle, hoping the lavender will create
a natural mulch and prevent the million billion weeds that show
up under the rose every couple of weeks. |

| Three new geraniums to go with the old feller on the right. |

Two new barrenwort to go with my old guy on the left.

The big picture. Hopefully the new guys will fill in these blanks and stave off
another black-eyed Susan takeover. |
