I moved the little 'Tide Hill' boxwoods into an angling line on a slant with the gravel garden. One actually is in the gravel nestling up against the rocks.
For some reason, I really like this, just like I enjoy the line of four boxwoods to the east of the deck. I like the way they bisect the edge of the gravel. Hopefully moving them now, in March, didn't hurt anything.
I also moved some of the irises that needed to be removed from the front walk garden, and put them in the Birch Garden. We'll see if they do ok there. There are more to move.
And I took out the nandina that I didn't like.
I wore the chaps for the first time, and they work! Really comfortable, just need some hitching up now and then, and a little quick adjustment as I kneel.
The key is to keep the straps loose.
And I moved the big pink urn to a more hidden spot under the guest room window, where the redbud was. Away from the brick wall it is not so pink, and it looks nice tucked in between the grasses and the other plants.
I had planned to put a big leafy baptisia 'Carolina Moonlight' there to fill the empty spot, but maybe not. The redbud stump is still there, which could make planting difficult, and I could use the baptisia out in a sunnier spot I think.
Another shot of the four Tide Hill boxwoods in their little angled line. I like it.
And I like the way the big gray whale-rock looks now, with the smaller ones scattered off to its right. I don't think I need any more.
