So I decided to hold off on planting things in the ground right now, since last I tried to dig in certain spots of my 'landscaped' garden, the ground was a combination of claylike soil and large rocks.Whoever did the landscaping the first time sure didn't do a thorough job, and planting things in that soil and doing the whole soil replacement thing would just take too damn much time. Luckily my azalea bush is currently thriving and the other bushes and trees are looking healthy. I planted several container gardens a few days ago, and they are actually still alive! I would love to put in perennials, but can't seem to make a choice about 1) which color scheme I want to settle on and 2) which are the easiest to care for.
I think I have decided on getting a tree put in, and my herbs are just waaaaiiiiting to be put into their container on my kitchen deck.
Now to find the time to do it....
