Thanks to Janet, we have a plan.

Otherwise, if you don’t know the plants and how they grow, (how big; when they flower; etc.) you could spend years fiddling around to get things where you want them.  Just got the news from Janet that she picked up the Liatris spicata and a few are getting ready to bloom 🙂

Now it’s time for the hard work.  Kent from church has offered to help and he is really keen about getting out there and digging. My only concern is the heat during the day out where the plot is, so we’ve planned to choose a weeding date in the late afternoon.  Of course, Janet has chosen plants that “I think will do well given the full-sun/prairie-like location with driveway on one side (heat island effect) and lawn on the other.”

Bring it on!
