BIG Garden Design Changes Coming Soon🌲!! Interplanting Cut Flowers Update, Flower Stand Setup💐!!!

Southern Pennsylvania is expecting a full day of thunderstorms.

The plans for the garden include removing all the non-fruit trees from the orchard, installing a new fence (referred to with "quotes" as there's a surprise coming), and putting in a new insta hedge.

In the raised bed, there are three different kinds of poppies; the first to bloom is the Rose Feathers poppy, followed by Frosted Salmon poppy.

The poppies start out a vibrant hot pink and in about a day, the color changes to a more muted pink with the center going light pink.

It was observed that thrips tend to attack colors like yellow, red, and dark purple first, while light pinks and light purples are usually hit later.

The saponaria flowers are planted very close together, maybe only an inch or two inches apart. Planting them much closer together produces a better stem and head that are easier to work into a bouquet.

There is uncertainty about whether the Royal Sunset Asiatic lilies that bloomed are actually the correct variety, as they appear red to orange, rather than pinky purple as expected. There's a possibility that the wrong bulb was received.
