April was a glorious month.

So during this month, we (my friend Liz and I) worked like crazy. I spoke about my beloved Auntie Dot in previous posts. She was a fantastic homemaker and gardener. Everything was always done to an exceptional quality. She was 98 years old when she passed on.
I was lucky enough to be able to take some of her plants. It took Liz and I (Liz digging) (me directing) a full day to take up and replant the plants.
I also received her old wagon wheel and birdbath for my garden. I am filled with joe every single time that I look at them because they were hers and she would adore how they look and add to my garden.
Here are some pictures of the integration of her plants into my garden and the transformations that had to take place in order to fit everything in.

This is one of her old, old peonies. I broke the original plant up into several parts. Looks pretty sad at this point. I added Epsom Salts to every transplant and they all took.

This is a new bed that we created . I transplanted a piece of daisy and geranium.

The bottom two plants are from Auntie Dot's. I am not fond of them but they are part of her garden so now they are part of mine!

This is a hosta that we had to move in order to fit in new plants. 

This pot was in My aunt's backyard as well. It may have been a pickle jar but I don't really know.

Oh my. This is the birdbath from my childhood. My cousins asked me what I would like from Auntie Dot's and I said "The birdbath".  What a centrepiece. In the background, you can see an old clematis vine that we also moved and a peony to the right of the birdbath. Notice that the new plantings are always planted with Seasoil. Always. For years now.

I also took pieces of roses. Some looked dead but have come back. 

More peony and a poppy.

This is another bed that we enlarged to allow for more plants. That rose is doing very well. I have no idea about it...colour, type etc...but we will see.
