No more yardwork yammering!

There's nothing much new to report, unless you'd all like to hear another list of accomplished yardwork? I knew you would! Here's a short one:

• Ben planted grass seed out by the sidewalk.
  
• I planted lavender and salvia in the back yard; fuschia, oxalis, and purple lady in the porch boxes; pink and white gaura in pots by the porch steps.
• Mulch!! We mulched the front yard and some of the back!
  
• The whole back patio has been meticulously cleared of gravel and is waiting for dirt&seed.
  
• We've got a a hellebore on the way from Wayside Gardens to test-drive in the shady spot outside.
