The selection of lilies and clematis is wonderful.

The truth to that is I tossed plenty onto the compost or shoved it in wherever I thought there was enough space. It helps with the guilt and lets me move on ;)<br />Enjoy summer, it looks like your garden is doing that already.

I 'file' them for planting next year and promptly forget them! I went through the box this spring and found dates as far back as 2010, lol! I planted the ones that were newer, purged the rest. Now I have a empty box waiting to be filled again.Eliza Watershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06879335295393594236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770960028868336157.post-31784266104498497452019-07-03T08:46:11.426-04:002019-07-03T08:46:11.426-04:00Thank you!
