| Shade garden. This will look better once everything is established and blends together. |
which the more you pick the more you get, zinnia (Cactus-Flowered Mix),
sweet alyssum, purple salvia, red hot poker in full sun. Mixed colors
Columbine and Lupine in the shade garden. We are getting an
area ready where we will plant the okra. I also forgot to say I
also have "Old German" Heirloom tomatoes - a Mennonite
heirloom from Virginia that turns a golden yellow with
reddish streaks and are great for slicing.

| I moved the junipers again. I planted them in pots and the wind has been so strong it kept knocking them to the ground, so I tied them to a fence and a crepe myrtle tree. (the one I cut down - it is coming back) |

Your place is looking awesome, you have done a LOT since I was there! Keep up the good work :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for saying so. It is alot of hard work, but I enjoy it. I really like the peach verbena too, but I will be giving it to Lindsay.
ReplyDeleteI love the scene with the yellow bench. looks like a nice spot to sit and reflect. Good luck getting rid of the crape myrtle. We removed two and it is coming back from the root. I will say though, that it happened once before and I dug up the plant and moved it to a more suitable location. It has formed a large thick bush which is very attractive.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment of my bench photo. I guess I'll just have to keep cutting the crape myrtle down. It appears to be a very old one and quite large at the bottom. But my husband did get a new chain saw - perhaps it can have a go at.
