"Done" for the day. My 2 primary goal were to get the sickly lavenders transplanted to raised beds & replace them with the 2 new boxwoods. I had to go to the Farm Bureau for soil & compost, move pallets & get everything unloaded, then start digging.

Boxwoods (actually 3 gallon size) in their new home, lavender in a new raised bed home. This is the better of the two lavenders - looks ok, but it's dying off from the bottom. Better draining soil should help the lavenders, if they survive. It needs cutting back, but it's still got good blooms, so not quite time yet.

My best dahlia bloom to date - first 2 were missing petals. I have 3 other plants with buds & the blooms should be different. The lavender is my cheap plant from Walmart. It started blooming almost as soon as I planted it & has been blooming all summer. I wish I knew what it was - gorgeous color.
