Unfortunately, my nursery was out of pot marigold and didn't carry fall blooming crocus, feverfew or sweet asylum. I will have to look around some more. However, with my limited experience in gardening, I think sticking to just a few flowers will be a good thing! As I was checking out, I was sorely tempted to purchase some bulbs for the spring, but had to pass them by since we might move by then!
I'm also looking into possibly planting some kale on the side of the mums. But I'm not sure if I'm ready for vegetable gardening just yet.
I had to dig up quite a bit of weeds, rocks and various dead stems from my garden bed just to get my mums in. I should've taken a before photo considering it looks one-hundred times better now... As I was struggling with one particular root, two of my neighbors walked by and commented on the mums and my gardening. Since flowers are continuously blooming on their side of the building, I can only hope they weren't inwardly laughing at me as I thought 'Oh, dear, am I doing this right?'. Luckily my husband was there to cheer me on!
