Shade Garden by the pool is filling in....

Here's an updated view of the garden space by the pool. I hadn't realized it had filled in so much until I saw the original pics here on the blog.

Just thought you might want to see an update of how the garden is growing!

The Shade bed is DONE!

Today I finished planting the new bed by the pool! The shady plants went in on the right side, and I think I will like it.
Now... to enjoy the pool that we've worked on all spring!!! Happy Memorial Holiday!

Garden Update

So now the garden space is half finished. The sunny side has plants! Esparanza, Hibiscus, Speedwell, Salvia Greggii, Jasmine, Aztec Grass, White Lantana, and the Elephant Ears.

The double knockout roses will go by the front door... RAN out of sun space! Now, for some shady plants... looking for Astilbe, fern, hosta, coleus, impatiens, etc!

Unknown Caterpillar

This strange little guy was just hangin out on a tree by the patio. I thought he was rough bark at first, until he moved!!!

Blank Canvas...

The shrubs and iris are gone, the weeds are out, and the canvas is now bare, and waiting on a new design. We are thinking it over and planning for the next phase... stay tuned for a new look!

More of the Yard!

Back Yard with garden shed, Pool and Bradford Pears... Azaleas out front!

New shade garden...

So, if you know me, you KNEW there would be many, many pics of plants! Here is my favorite bed so far. It only had the dogwood tree and the ferns emerging when we moved in... I've added hosta's, huchera, and some color! LOVE it so far.

What do you think....?
