The last few weeks I have been preparing the gardens for dormancy. Shifting plants from containers into their new homes in the regular gardens. Cleaning out containers. Transplanting items that need to be in bigger more spacious containers.
Today I attended to the blueberry bushes. They are an experiment of sorts. I didn't spend much on them when I purchased them from a box store this past May. Now they have been moved to new bigger homes (containers). I added a few perennials that I picked up at the garden center for $1 each. Leontopodium Alpinum Edelweiss (see whisps of green in the top photo) and Iberis sempervirems "Snow Cone" Candy Tuff (below).
Then I nestling them in with pine cones, leaf litter and pine needles from our small forest in the backyard. The containers are really lovely; gracing the long windows of our bedroom.
Now I am ready to nestle in for a quiet late fall nap.
