    With regards to weeds I agree, my garden also is very full and theres simply no room for weeds to grow, makes it very easy. Also heavily leaf-mulched from the previous season is a good preventative measure for weeds. Thats great you have a source of free water, I have 4 x 275 Gall tanks taking water off the roofs and with a simple pump system makes watering a breeze. It really is nice when the garden gets filled out, if its all perennials I personally find its not that much "hard" work at that point, just maintenance and enjoyment.

    Personally , i think the monarda is worth keeping. It is a great fragrant,indigenous pollinator,and has some health benefits. Through out history when tea was scarce and to expensive monarda has always served as poor mans tea. I think it should be thinned occasionally and to allow for better sunlight and air flow.

      Dried flowers are fragile yet while they do need to be handled with care, they are surprisingly durable once arranged into a wreath or bouquet. When I do have breakage I can often still use the flowers by hot glueing them into the arrangement. With proper care and placement, they can last a very long time.

I’d also mention that when these shrubs were initially planted I had them set back about 6-7’ and then planted smaller shrubs and perennials in front of them. Since this border is now mature and the shrubs have grown larger, many of the smaller shrubs and perennials that were in front are gone or have been moved elsewhere in the garden. The privacy screen remains so that is good! Things continue to evolve which is a joy in gardening. Best of luck in your new home and happy gardening!

      Hello and thank you so much for your interest! I read the book by Lisa Mason Ziegler. (Originally published: 2014) which describes how you can grow hardy annuals in cool weather. Using the guidelines and techniques described in the book I was able to grow many hardy annual varieties earlier and plant out in early April which is well ahead of our typical last frost of May 20th where we are located in Ct. My second seed sowing was timed for all the other annual varieties I wanted to grow that are not as cold tolerant. The second set of plants went out end of May/early June. Doing the early sowing for the hardy annuals had many advantages, including increased production and spreading the workload over two planting periods. I hope this helps but I highly recommend Lisa’s book if you’re interested in learning more about cold hardy annuals.

    the shrubs are nice but No its too monotone with it like that if it was me and my garden i need a lot of color so i would put
    the shrubs on the perimeter so as not to kill them in transplanting as a border element then i would look at the inventory of wildflowers
    that are perennial and i would begin a waltz around the 2 acres to enhance the topo dynamic in the process maybe 5 trellis concepts that build the energy
    of the Garden as a whole if you go to CFP Christian Faith Publishing you can see my first Book of something like 8 manuscripts
    if you have a Carpenter that would help and pitch in we can to the Trellises and save a little on the price and total Build
    i love Hummingbirds and since your in Redding i know of their intern and volunteer base is pretty Good so you can use the project to teach some younger folks
    the craft and the Love of Gardening if you have some Glardia that is always a nice option as the red attracts the hummingBirds
    one of the birds that is always nice to see stop by to seek out nectar
