Ok, so what did I get done, and what do I still need to do?

Finished:


  • Planted all 4 Knock Out Roses in the side bed. 
  • Transplanted the Zinnia starts in the side bed (12 total) 
  • Cut back the Hyacinth leaves (mostly because I was having a hard time visualizing the layout without them, certain areas were looking crowded and now it looks fine.) 
  • Dug out the big dark green Hostas.  
  • Planted the Hostas in the patio bed.  (I might want to further divide them and spread them out in there to look more balanced and fill it out.) 
  • Planted the whole patio bed- Hostas, Begonias, Coleus, and small Liriope making a little border in the front.  
  • Set up a soaker hose in the Patio bed. 
  • Dug out the Liriope from the back center of the front bed. 
  • Planted the Clematis in that spot near the back, and set up the Trellis.
  • Set up the soaker hose in the front bed. 
  • Pulled out all the failure peas.  Sifted through all that soil to get out most of the roots, drilled holes in the bottoms of the 32" containers.  Refilled them with the soil and transplanted the Morning Glories.  
  • Transplanted the dwarf Sunflower starts to the window box.
  • Direct-seeded the bigger 4' sunflowers into the raised bed and the back of the side bed.
  • Planted the Better Boy Tomato into the raised bed with the cage.
  • Planted the Basil, Parsley and Chives in the raised bed. 

Still to do: 

  • Set up soaker hose in the side bed.  
  • Direct-seed some more Zinnias into the side bed.  
  • Sow some more dwarf Sunflower seeds in the window box
  • Plant the Green Bean seeds in the raised bed
  • Sow more Morning Glory seeds in the 32" containers (buy more Morning Glory seeds)
  • Harvest all the lettuce later this week. 
  • Plant Jalapeno in a container.
  • Plant Sweet 100 tomato in the raised bed (once the lettuce is gone) 
  • Pull out Tulips from the front bed (once they start to turn yellow)
  • Move the red Daylilies 
  • Dig up the Liriope from the front bed and divide them.
  • Replant the Liriope near the front of the front bed.  
  • Divide up the Daylilies and move them around. 
  • Plant the annuals in the front bed. 
  • Fill the wall container (with what???) 
  • Cover the top of the raised bed with compost.  
  • Sweep out patio
  • Mix pea stems into compost
  • Put crap away

A lot of those things are actually really easy.  We can do this,
