The last 3 pictures are the gardens right next to the house. They get a lot of shade, and as you can see, even the ferns are struggling right now.
These 3 are next to my driveway. The only thing blooming are the Violas that I planted years ago in a different garden. They reseed themselves all over the place.I love them!
The round garden in my front yard. And behind this garden is the one that follows the fence line.
In this garden I've got Beebalm, Phlox and several different kinds of Lilac Bushes.
The Lilacs are just starting to bud. I had to use flash in the middle of the day just so you could see it!
Then there's my garden that used to be beautiful. It was full of Hostas. I lost most of them last year. The only thing I can think of is maybe all the moles that are devestating my lawn are now starting on my garden!
The next one is my big garden.
I had to take it in parts so you could see what was growing in it. I'm constantly adding something new to this one. It's part shade, part sun and part shade and sun. I'm having a hard time finding which plants will thrive in it!
My pond is right in front of the big garden. I haven't cleaned it out yet because the mice got a hold of the pump I use to pump it out. They chewed the cord in half. You can't tell in the picture but all my wild violets are blooming.They're beautiful in full bloom. I only wish they lasted longer.
Then there's the few things I've got around the deck. There's more of the same around the back of the house but my hands got so cold , I stopped here! Will keep that for another time. Well, now it's time to make supper for Hubby and then it's plant shopping time!! My favorite pass time! Bye for now!
Cathy, you have some lovely garden spaced defined in your yard. I imagine they look a lot different since these photos were taken. Are your black irises starting to bloom now?
ReplyDeleteNo they are not blooming yet, we've had such a weird spring! Hopefully soon.
