End of July.

7-30-07 VERMONT: I finished the work on the new BBP, except for some planting, and I’m waiting for the sale to start at Brown’s Nursery on August 1. I finished pulling out all the turf, regrading, doing rock border, mulching, moving the fence posts and moving hostas to the new site. The hostas all came from places in the garden where they were being overgrown by taller or more vigorous stuff. As you can imagine, they don’t look great now, but wait until next year. I did plant some creeping thyme along the border and in the walkway gaps and some common thyme, Thymus vulgaris, near the cotoneaster.

We got 0.35 inches of rain a couple days ago.

New blooms: red yarrow, black hollyhock, soapwort.


Water Lily.
