Finished planting the garden, putting down one Quick Fire hydrangea tree with its panicles aging from white to blush pink, two 'White Swan' coneflowers with white ray florets around greenish-yellow cones, and a few dwarf mounding groundcovers in the foreground. Also planted four Quick Fire Fab hydrangeas, which I propagated from the mother plant, and watered the bed thoroughly. Definitely a lot of hard work but it is gonna be worth it and I know it.

Checking out the southwest garden and planning out what plants to replace the low mounding California lilac lining the mulched bed with its small green foliage. Thinking about putting some lilies and panicle hydrangeas here, like the white and deep pink blooms and the 'Quick Fire' panicles turning soft pink nearby. The garden design is inspired by Tracy's garden, a lady's garden who I found on YouTube in Ontario.
