I hope anyone who see's this is doing well!

What did I plant last year? I always say "not much" and then realize it was more than I remember.
My burst of garden energy was focused on expanding my side yard - adding hostas & ferns, and some impatiens for color. The impatiens didn't do well, but that's to be expected in the poor soil over there. Improving the soil is a process that just takes time and mulch. Luckily, I have plenty of both. The area I started mulching when I moved into my house has improved tremendously, and I'm sure the extended beds will be in good shape in due time.
I also started fertilizing my struggling boxwoods, and it was a good year for it. We had lots of rain, and I saw some good new growth. It will take time for them to fully recover back to the way they were when my great grandmother was alive, but again, I have time. I also got a pair of pruning sheers, so watch out!
