Current Projects:
We've been working in the display garden since mid-May and have gotten much work accomplished since then. The first big project was getting each section re-mulched. It took a few days and many deliveries. The pond pump needed to be fixed and now is running again.
After the addition of Morgan's new herb spiral last year, she worked on planting her creation. Using herbs and annuals, the bed is filling in nicely.
Another new section is located on the north side of the garden at the end of the row of crab-apple trees. We removed overgrown sedges and replaced them with hostas, ferns, daylilies, and the perennial gayfeathers, all of which were previously crowded together. Crowding causes plants to stay smaller in size than their potential because they aren't getting as many nutrients or as much space as necessary. The result of removing and transplanting makes the new bed much more organized and spacious.
New Bloomers!
I will be updating this section each week. The pictures will show plants that just began flowering. This week roses have taken off and are in full bloom. Delphiniums, Yarrow, Clematis vines and our Prickly Pear Cactus have also been gorgeous with many new blossoms. Enjoy the pictures!
