Potted up the violas yesterday. Also bought chives, parsley, rosemary and greek oregano, and got them put in pretty pots today.

Trouble is, there is no landscaping, or arranging. The few garden beds there are here are not well placed. They are also planted with stuff I don't want.   I've got pedestals, pillars, statues, assorted birdbathes, etc. All bought for my old Victorian era house and garden, and just sort of dropped anywhere out of the way when I moved last summer. Now I'm accumulating pots of plants that are being dropped anywhere there is sun. It sure looks like a hillbilly lives here right now. Makes sense, I guess, since I are one;>)

The soil is too wet to work in right now, but it is perfect for digging out unwanted stuff. I dug out a bunch of nandina that were right up against the foundation, a few azaleas that were poorly placed and in ill health - probably from old age. Also a truckload of variegated lirope, which I do not care for, and still have heaps more to dig.

And I snapped the handle on my garden fork, which was a good excuse to quit for the night.
