First year planting… is it way too crowded or will this work?


@Keir
This is super helpful, thanks! I’ll start measuring things out better next time.

It looks amazing! I’m jealous, honestly. I’m stuck waiting for spring to plant anything decent. You might have a crowding issue eventually, but that’s a good problem to have compared to a bare garden.

Thanks! I’d love to see how yours turns out. I’m sweating just thinking about moving things again, but hopefully, it’s worth it!

This is beautiful. If it gets crowded, you can always split and move things.

That’s a great idea. I’ll keep an eye on things and adjust when needed!

It probably will be, but it’s no big deal. Just grab a spade and move things when the time comes. I always plant for now, not the future. It’s part of the fun.

I like that motto—plant for now! Thanks for the advice.

It looks great. I love the symmetry. It should grow in really nicely.

I really like the yellow plants. What are they called? Wondering if they’d grow in my area.

This is stunning! I’m guilty of cramming plants too, but I think it adds charm. Not everything will survive, and that gives you chances to adjust later. Enjoy it!

Wow, this is really beautiful.

Can’t wait to see how it looks in a few months!

It’s very pretty, but those hydrangeas will get huge.

Good point. I can move them if needed. Thanks for letting me know!

It’s a bit crowded but super neat and organized. Nice work!

Thank you! I’ll update after some time to show how it’s doing.

It’ll probably get crowded, but you can always move things later. It’s so pretty right now.

Kind of grandma-ish, but yeah, a bit too close together.

This is incredible! It’s going to look even better once everything fills out.

Yes, it’s crowded.

Those are sunshine ligustrum!

Looks amazing. Can you share an update in a few months?
