Planted San Marzano tomatoes, Basil, Yellow Squash and more Parsley in the back yard.
Coral Bells and bearded iris in the front garden were a bit out of hand, so they got thinned out and potted up. Creeping phlox and snow cap got trimmed.
The new violets purchased at Stonecrop Alpine Plant sale were planted into a large planter.
3 Lavender Angustifolia were planted at the front of the house.
Planted up a tiny moss garden.
