My Memorial Day Project

I forgot to post - here's what I did on Memorial Day - or over the weekend. When we moved here, we had a lovely perennial garden - the only downfall, it was overgrown. Being pregnant our first year, and having an active three year old and newborn the next, I put it off. I could NOT however, put it off any longer. I removed what I like to call a "two ton hosta", split it and found new homes for it, as well as about eight lilies and iris plants. I wish I had taken a before - but if you look closely at the photo taken early this spring below, you'll get the idea:

after:
A friend we've gotten to know near our town has an INCREDIBLE perennial collection - AND, just dropped of some that she split this weekend .... HOORAY .... I have a little more planting to do (that IS excitement in my voice)!
