A long and beautiful summer in the garden


Well, my lofty goal of keeping tabs of what I was doing in my garden every month have gone by the wayside, due to Alison's wedding and now being back teaching. The garden really was lovely this year, though.

Getting rid of a few things


Well, this year I really have been brutal about getting rid of things that just don't please me anymore. I pulled out all of my mums, and then all of my Caryopteris. The honeysuckles and the vicary golden privets were the next to go. I have also moved some barberries--hopefully they will live through the abuse. I am excited about this year in the garden. Wedding receptions in June and August!!

Bulbs are busting out all over

April 18th


Someone magically mowed the front lawn for me today!! Anyway, I have all of the front yard cleaned up (except a small part of the back corner) for spring. I still have a lot of pruning to do in the back yard. I can only do so much a week, 'cause the green waste garbage can gets full pretty quickly. Also on Saturday, I pulled out a blue mist shrub and a golden privet that just weren't making me happy anymore. So much to do, so little time before the wedding(s)!
