Catalpa Bed

Last fall we extended a garden bed.  I wanted a little more interest along the path.

We dug up the bed, and brought lots of compost in.

At the one end of the bed there is a catalpa tree I grew from seed.

I wanted to have a place for smaller hostas and beautiful ferns.

With the locust shade tree, catalpa, and blue spruce, I’m hoping it’s shaded in a few years.

I put in a few daffodils last fall, and a few other perennials I came across this spring.

And I had some dahlia bulbs that looked dead, but I planted them in the sunny end of the bed.

They’ve all actually started growing!

Hosta Fern Bed

Hosta/Fern Bed

Last year I divided some hostas, and kept them in the vegetable garden for the winter.

The golf cart sure comes in handy to transport them to the bed.

I laid them out first to see where everything should go.

I realized the catalpa tree end is still pretty sunny so I saved some room for different perennials there, for this year anyway.

A good day’s work.

It’s always satisfying to see a new bed freshly planted, full with expectation and promise.
