This blog is about my garden and the outdoors. I am new to photography but I am trying to show some of the pretty things that grow here in Michigan. I love the wild things who visit me and I dont mind if they eat a bit here and there. I like it more if they let me take their picture. As time goes on I think I will try to show you around the beautiful area that I live in as well as my garden. I try to use my own pictures as much as possible but will also use pictures from the web. If I inadvertently use your photo or work without permission please email me and I will remove it or give credit if you prefer. I will give credit when I know who the owner is. I would ask that anyone using my pictures do the same.

New Blooms..................

Every day new blooms, every day I check. I will have to take a video of the whole garden while it is nice and green. It has been raining today, well it did early on and so its sort of wet. I could not dig today and Gerry is home. He has retired now. That will be nice, maybe I can hope he takes an interest. I certainly can make a list haha. First on the agenda is to clear the garage. Have a sale. I was not going to but I will need to do at least a small one just to get stuff out.
Anyway. A few pictures from today.
I moved the Bottle tree from the corner to the middle garden and replaced it with the new thingie.

The back shade garden I fixed up and put manure/compost down. It looks better. I hope it will help the Hosta grow. I see there are a lot of baby ones in there. I will be able to tell more when the stuff I put down drys enough to spread. Note to self, you didn't want manure stuff your needed potting soil. STill it will enrich the soil if I can ever spread it.At least the black dirt looks good.

Bodi does not get around very well but she still enjoys life best she can.
The grass I planted looks lovely

My white Iris broke under the sprinkler but I can still see how lovely it is. Maybe next year it will spread I hope so, it's so pretty.

The man across the alley has a lot of different ones. Maybe I can ask him to sell me some

So Bessie is being a pain in the butt. She goes out in the garden and the Crows do not like her. They don't seem to mind Boots. When Bessie is out I know it. The Crow comes and yells for me.

So I have to go out and haul her back in. The seating area I have to weed somehow. I need to get the Violets and stuff out of the cracks. Wish I could remove permanently.

This little shrub is just a couple of years old and the flowers are pretty.

The new Lilac has a few flowers on it

The one on the other side has not bloomed yet. I put that one in last year, the one in flower is a couple of years older.
This is one of the things that are pretty but you just do not want in the garden. They bloom very pretty and them flop and have to be cut down. They also spread all over and make a mess. At first I really wanted stuff that spread and have learned to regret those things. Like Lilly of the Valley and some purple bells that I love but have a heck of a time controlling.

I checked out my tomato's and that's slow going. I wonder how expensive they will be once I can harvest some. Ah well. I do know they usually taste sooo good.
