more garden work

on structure- soon there will be fence! Gah, this is taking me so long. I've mowed as short as possible around the bed perimeter, laid down cardboard 
(it felt fitting, but also sad, to cut up this pretty floral-patterned box for part of the smothering)
and then mulch. This is where the fence will go. 
Startling how much tidier and more purposeful my garden looks with just a mulched boundary. I intend to smother and mulch the paths between the beds as well. Here you can see my nepitella on the outside edge of bed 4- 
doing nicely!
Where the border goes around corner angle, I roughly transplanted pink turtlehead a while back- and they all did just fine with that move. Mulched them with leaves- 
and planted the blue lobelia here. Not sure if it's the best spot, will see.
Also put in the star-eyed grass on the other side, flanking the rosemary.
Photos don't do justice to how pretty these little flowers are.
