Putting in the Perennial Flower Bed

I had to get the front perennial beds in before it rains. This spot has been bare for quite awhile, other than the nasty weeds that were deposited by wind and birds. The front bed is 4 feet by 25 feet. After tilling it all up I added peat moss and manure and tilled it again. The end soil was light and well blended. After digging the holes for each little plant, I add Scott's garden soil that has delayed release plant food in it into each hole, and then added the plant. Although after planting, there seems to be a lot of bare space, I'm going to put in a bunch of annuals to fill in the gaps this year. But by next year, these perennials will really fill in nicely and adding annuals won't really be necessary. I planted about 60 perennials...which included phlox, daisies, coreopsis, echinacea, asters, rudbeckia, liatris, chrysanthemum, sedum, scabiosa, campanula, Gaillardia, veronica and a ton more. The types of plants have a cottage garden look to them which I love. Since we were due to have rain for the next 2 1/2 days, we got the beds prepared and amended and planted before the rain started. Even though it's only 44 degrees this morning, perennials can handle a bit of a chill.
