My yard & its challenges - May 4th, 2006 at 02:00 AM
When I started moving in, in October of '02, there werent any flower beds. The raised bed thats now my shade garden was there, but the previous owner put in annuals every year. 1/2 of my property is hill, which I dream of with no grass and full of flowers.
Ideas and suggestions are always welcome.
This garden i put in mostly so I could grow something tall to hide the phone pole in the summer. I have canna lillies next to the pole.
This is the shade garden behind the house. The hill is covered in lilacs, lilac babies and honeysuckle bushes. I added the stone circle around the hydrangea and theres some lilies in there too.
There are bleeding hearts, columbine, ferns, astilbe,mallow, yarrow, and various bulbs in there. The wild jewelweed comes up in there too. My hummers love the shade garden!
Ahh, my troublesome hill
Those posts at the top are the border to my up the hill behind me neighbors driveway. The circle of stones is perrenials, that fence on the left is the edge of my veggie garden.
My sunny garden, we've enlarged each spring.
from my front door looking at the hill. the circle to the right is the phone pole garden. I put in the border across the bottom this spring. It end at a fireplace.
