Perennials - the garage garden bed is almost finished

Yesterday, Sue took me to Garden Barn - an enormous garden center across from our school. We looked at so many plants. It was total visual overload for me. I have on interest in annuals. I want to do this once and have the yard look nice every year after that. So we bought some perennials and I'm hoping for the best. These are planted along our garage.

Blooming now is Moss Phlox. Apparently this comes in a bunch of other colors and it will spread in the future. I'm OK with that. Maybe it will appear again somewhere else in the yard in a different color some day.

Next to that I planted Shasta Daisies. I don't think those come up until the summer. Same with the Black Eyed Susans right next to them. Finally I planted Cranesbill, also a summer flower but apparently it's a similar height to the Moss Phlox so that's why it was planted on the end (aka because I was told to put it there). It's not really on the end since I have the experiment going on with those bachelor blossom buttons or whatever annual I planted from seed just to see if I could grow flowers from seed. Those, by the way, are showing signs of poking out of the ground in both locations where they were planted. We'll see how they do!

Adding some mulch this weekend and then this little area will be done!
