    Very exciting. I look forward to updates as this garden is planted. So sorry about the rain and washing away your precious soil. I'm such a soil miser that if I give a plant away I shake most of the soil off and give it practically bare rooted. I know you'd understand since we have to buy soil and it's expensive.
    My entire front yard is perennials and it can look like a meadow of greenery. I've worked on adding evergreens last year so I have winter interest, there have always been a few trees and as soon as I can get my health in order (one of those things that just happens and all your plants get shot to hell), I'll be adding pebble pathways which will hopefully divide up the area into zones so I don't have such a huge swatch of greenery.

    I’m excited about all the plants you have picked and do hope you will share once you’ve got them all planted. So hard to fight Mother Nature and water! Our intermittent stream breached its banks this past winter and spring and I surly thought that I lost my planting from last fall, as everything was knee deep in water...low and behold...they all survived and are thriving....meadow rue, astilbe, butterfly bush, Jacobs ladder, turtlehead, mint. Other areas of my woodland area are infested with mustard garlic...spent mist of the day yesterday pulling it...today will burn! Very frustrating, as I’m not getting any younger and it truly is a workout!! Happy gardening🥴

      Btw...so sorry you got hit by those floods in your area.😕 As you said, better that it happened before you had planted everything up though. I know there are several taller grasses that really help to create a strong barrier from flooding, as well that love to soak up the water. Hopefully some of the varieties you chose will fit that bill!🌾

You have an excellent gardener's heart because you realized the blessing in the rain showing you where the water will flow.

    Dig the "creek" deeper with a rented track-hoe one weekend to create creek banks. The water could use a more narrow channel to the lake. If money were no object, imagine a small bulkhead on both sides of the "creek" for added garden interest & architecture. You could plant along the bank & have plants drape out over the bulkhead. With or without water, it would add to the fairytale garden/forest. Love the plant haul!

    It can be hard to wait, but the best new gardens start with a lot of ugly work before the pretty happens. I love so many of those plants you’ve chosen. Some are in my front yard native plant garden, some are sprinkled in my backyard. I just picked up Lady’s Mantle after years of wanting it. An big area like the one you are working on would be so fun to pick plants for. All those big plants that are difficult to fit into an average garden bed, those plants that are a little extra ambitious in their self seeding, so much fun 😀

    Not sure if it was a fluke this year, but I used your DIY deer repellant spray and I haven’t had any issues so far. They usually demolish my hostas and nibble on just about everything else, even “deer resistant” varieties. Admittedly I let the mixture sit for A WHILE, to the point that I almost couldn’t stand the putrescence. But if 3 or 4 rounds of spray in the early spring are all it takes to buy some time, it’s worth it! I’m going to brew some more and spray intermittently, lest the deer forget... Thanks for all the valuable information you share!
