I miss my home and veggie garden...
Being a mommy and raising those littles can replace many things in life, at least temporarily. I DO remember!
@tinkercreek yes... Children are wonderful but i always think of my veggie garden when i go to a produce stand ....
Nice. It is fun to look at and enjoy the freshness odors of gardening. With a cup of coffee and some morning perusing the flower beds. Very nice job!
I see the heliotrope, but I don't see the honeysuckle. Is it not in the picture? It looks wonderful very attractive and inviting. I like your use of the smaller stones.
Now you do! Still needs some cleanup and fresh mulch across the path . Unfortunately the whole lot sits under that giant "trash ash", which allows me only 2-3 summer months without constant cleanup.
Like the little tree like shrub in the second pic between the windows .
That is actually a Bloodgood Maple, which (fortunately) has barely grown since planted about 8 yrs ago.
@tinkercreek I killed 2 of those too.
@Lorajay So maybe they are a bit fragile? Mine lost a branch balancing the left side over the winter, just dead as a doornail this spring, and I don't know why.
@tinkercreek I have heavy clay soil and I provided morning shade and afternoon sun. I think I also fertilized it the 1st year and did not put on 6" of mulch. In other words I did everything wrong both times.[mendocinomaples.com] Both times I got lucky and got them 1/2 price . It was early enough in the year because every once in a while you can just get lucky at Lowe's when they have too much stuff they do everything half price.
like it
Thanks! When I bought the place, it was just solid foot-high blue vinca vines from one side to the other, except for the two large trees.
@tinkercreek - You've done a great job transforming it. It looks great.
@MissKathleen Thank you, it's been a fun 'living canvas'!

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.

Posted by FrostyJimI usually drink coffee while planting seeds?
Posted by KilltheskyfairyI love all the information on the internet that makes me a better gardener…

Posted by 1patriotOne of the main reasons for last year’s ‘spike’, which the media and government agencies have avoided mentioning, is the Hunga Tonga volcano eruption two years ago.
