Garden

It got up to 80 degrees today, so I thought I should take advantage of the weather to do a little gardening. I think I'm just about out of time to transplant some perennials. So I took some coreopsis that was in a pot and planted it out front and did the same with a sprig of agastache that I had routed. Most things in the yard now appear to be mostly played out. There are a few fresh, late blooms on my lavender and the large flower coreopsis that I just planted this year still has some pretty yellow flowers blooming on it. My two love lies bleeding plants still have a lot of red flowers and seeds on them, and I'm thinking I should Harvest some of the seeds to plant next year, though I need to probably cut them all back before they throw seeds all over the yard and in places where I don't want them.(by the way, there are some typos in this oh, and I can't fix them easily on my phone. I am using voice to text and for some reason my phone doesn't let me easily edit the text when there is a mistake. Sometimes the words are ghosted it out when I try to correct them.)

 Soon, I am having the tree in my front yard taken down. The man who is doing it is supposed to excavate a bunch of roots out of the ground and regrade that part of the yard. That will be an opportunity for me to plant a bunch of seeds that I got from Prairie Moon Nursery and leave room to plant other perennials up front. I plan to expand. More flowers, less lawn.
