Garden Update

Long time no talk!

Sorry about that, not sure where this week went or how it’s Thursday night…

Hmmm…. story of my life!

How is your week going?  Hope it’s going well and that it’s been restful, creative and productive!

Since I’m a little short on words tonight (brain=fried, allergies=in full swing), here are some pictures of our weekend gardening project!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before- in all it’s tree glory.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nekkid front… yard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ornamental evergreens, dwarf azeleas and daylilies…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mini rhododendron and a nikko blue hydrangea…

I’m loving it!  I can picture some planter boxes on the front porch with wave petunias and spiky grasses cascading over, as the plants grow up and fill in the space.

We went the cheaper route and selected younger plants that will mature and fill out the space in the coming years, which was very kind to the wallet and will be a great long-term investment.

I am going to track down a walking stick tree for the front corner… will post pics when I find the perfect plant and placement!

Also have a great climbing rose for the along the fence.

I’m a little frazzled after a long week, so I’m going to turn off the technology this weekend and unwind/disconnect/regroup.

I’ll see you next week with some stitching updates- I’ve been busy (the only good part of stress?!).

XO, Mer
