The new arborvitaes were planted yesterday and we watered them thoroughly. There is a lot of watering in my future for. I lost so many established trees last year due to the drought. This is the area where I had four 50 foot pines cut down last year. I also lost quite a few very large arborvitaes too. It's time to rethink this area and I will be doing lots of planting.
The Butterfly Catcher that I installed last year. (click for a closer look)
Floribunda roses planted in galvanized buckets waiting to be moved to their spot.
These plants are Dianthus which came back from last year. The dog is Willie. |
I've planted a row of scarlet Azaleas down this hill. I love the way the new gazebo stands above the garden. I will be furnishing it in several weeks.
I planted a Forsythia behind the gazebo and in a few years it should provide a beautiful yellow backdrop in the Spring. |
I finally have some Blood Roots coming up. The roots of these plants were used by Native Americans to dye fabrics.
I planted an assortment of about 100 ferns last Spring and they are all beginning to show their little faces. I know I am a garden nerd but I find this all so exciting.
This area will eventually be covered in Virginia Bluebells. That's what the small green leaves are. They are native to this area.
Some of the my older ferns coming up between the boulders.

Trilliums are nasty expensive here but they like my garden so they self sow some :-) and one can never have too many ferns :-)
Have a great day!
