Thanks for starting this trend! I hope we can keep it up. It’s fun getting to know our garden community here better 😸

I’m trying my best to make my gardens explode with color and opportunities for local bugs and whatnot to enjoy. I’m also giving a go at planting large batches of companion and complimentary plants to keep the baddies at bay and promote best outcomes. First time planting nasturtiums in the mix and I’m very into how gigantic they’ve become!

My other big project is placing various plants along one fence line to create a living fence that should block the view into the backyard and provide a bit of a sound barrier. After visiting the International Flower and Garden festival at EPCOT recently, I fell in love with their use of Heuchera ‘Southern Comfort’ and I can’t wait to add some to my design.

This link seems a tad sponsored, but it happens to sum up my suggestions pretty nicely: https://www.thisoldhouse.com/gardening/21015382/foundation-planting-basics

I also vote for some forsythia, rhododendrons, and hosta plants 🌱 best of luck! I hope we get to see some progress pics 😸
