It didn't take long for all the silver maple "helicopters" to start sprouting. But, a nice treat to see one of the plugs (Foxglove) already blooming -- a rare sight the first year in a perennial garden.

While my hope is that native violets will fill in as a living groundcover, mulch is needed in the meantime. I've labeled every single plant so that I will know what should appear where and to better inform my future weeding activities after a long winter.
I took some time to make an amateur sketch of my planting layout, taking care to size the drawings for each plant's eventual mature width. BFI = Blue False Indigo CB = Columbine FG = Foxglove FN = False Nettle GA = Golden Alexander HV = Hoary Vervain LBS = Little Bluestem OCF = Orange Coneflower PCF = Purple Coneflower PMW = Purple Milkweed PPCF = Pale Purple Coneflower PV = Prairie Violet RMW = Rose Milkweed SBES = Sweet Black-Eyed Susan SmP = Small's Penstemon SOG = Sideoats Grama YCF = Yellow Coneflower
