I looked around my back yard to the left…It looks pretty good. Although I should weed it. The fortnight lillies and the agapanthus are just starting to bloom. In about 2 weeks you should see nothing but white and purple on this side.
I looked to the center of my garden. It looks bare and ugly. The azaleas are not doing well. Guess I forgot to put the azalea food around them. Think I’ll color it up a little.
I am going to plant rosemary (middle), two lavender plants (on each side), and two columbine plants (center back).
Waa laa! A clean garden area with some color. I even transplanted some allysum. This is the area that I mixed in a huge bag of compost and found a peanut the squirrel(s) buried. My neighbors think it’s cute to leave peanuts on the fence for the squirrels. The squirrels grab the peanuts and go over to MY yard and bury them. Maybe if I left peanuts for them, they will go to the neighbors and bury them.
Compared to my gardening skills (zilch) it all looks great to me! You have a beautiful garden!
Your garden is very well kept. Weeding is an almost constant chore and I think every gardener make the same statement about their gardens needing to be weeded. That’s all part of gardening. Great pictures!
I love columbine! I killed a couple last summer though- I am like you- if it’s pretty I stick it in the yard and hope it lives- no minding the sun (they didn’t make it). Watch out for rosemary though! Once it gets bigger you will want to trim the heck out of it. My rosemary almost took over my yard once!
Sounds like Tinky, Jonesy, and Sissy need to step up their squirrel patrols! We have some crazy big lavender plants that we got from The Lavender Fields out in Valley Center; if you like lavender that’s the place to go!
Your yard is very pretty! I love it. I liked seeing the process of livening up a spot you where unsatisfied with, it is going to look good!
Oh my…I love coming here and getting the surprise of beautiful garden pictures! I wish my backyard looked like that…I would never leave it.
So pretty! I can’t wait till my plants get some maturity around the house. The downfall of building a house…everything looks bare! Your beds are beautiful! Are purple flowers your favorite? They are mine!
i totally love your garden!!
