Finishing up the front corner.....................

It has been so wet, yes it still is after a night of rain. It's been difficult to get out and work. I did manage for a short time today but it got so humid I didn't stay long. I did put up the rest of the fence that I had on hand yesterday. The poles that hold it together need banging down so it looks funny right now.


This back end shows my collection of Butterfly's Milkweed. That is doing well this year. I am thinking that I need some shrubs up in that back corner. I was putting box wood back there so maybe I will just put in more of that.

We trimmed up the pine trees along that side, it looked very bare at first. I think since things got trimmed things have taken off. I put wood chips down and I still have a lot of weeding to do but the ivy and wild flowers are doing well. We found this wagon abandoned in a field a long time ago. Right now it is growing its own collection of weeds.

I cleaned up my garden lady. She needs new hands (wooden spoons) and once it gets better outside I will paint the chair and fix her her good. She will be holding a plant when I am finished.


I dug out several plants and put those along the fence line. In their place I put a new Day Lily and a couple of blue Salvia. I hope they do well. The plants I had in there grew well but flopped in the heat, so they will do better under the trees and as they spread they can enjoy life in their new place.

Some of the Day Lilies are budding. This is the new one

This one was blooming

Jason's roses from last years birthday are blooming. One is red and one is yellow but, the yellow one also has red blooms on it.

one new rose that didn't seem to have taken has some shoots. Say what you will about rain, the garden sure likes it.

The shrub I put in a barrel has thrived and is growing well now. I moved the other one out front and I think it may have survived. Hard to tell yet but I do like this with the red tips


Last year the tea pot and the little house were on copper pipes but they fell off so this year they can sit on the small steps

This guy was happy that I did some digging

I think I got everything planted now. I still have weeding to do out front under the pines but the big stuff is done now. There is always work to do in the garden but now I am at the point I can take my time.
This is another ornament I refurbished. Its copper and had a glass ball that broke so I replaced it with a Christmas ornament.

I was checking out the veggies and some tomato have babies


I don't know who this cute little bugger is

but hope hes not the one eating my stuff

Meanwhile the zucchini is flowering. last year they bloomed but didn't have fruit.

This is an extension on the veggie patch

Well thats enough from me..............now we sit and wait for things to sprout. As long as it's not weeds.
