This is what the Weeping Beech looked like this last week.
This is it this morning.
A bit of heat and rain and it opened right up.
Here are a few pics of the gazebo I took before I started to work on it. You can see how bad it was. The green leaves are the first ones to open on the Beech.
You can see all of the clematis that was bogging things down and holding in moisture.
I finally got my drill fixed.
It is raining today so I will be back to work on this tomorrow.
My phlox is still blooming!
And finally the pool is open.
The water is not quite clear yet. We don't use chemicals. We have a copper filtration system.
I planted rhubarb and tomatoes.
And some peppers.
I still have lettuce coming up from last fall.
I can't wait for my radishes.
All of my pots are doing well.
My climbing hydrangeas are about to bloom.
The back door to my garage has a devil door knocker.
Teddy is on the prowl.
Ready to do her garden tour.
But first I get a treat request!

We still gets frost in the nights so still nothing planted in any pots and the tomatoes has to stay indoors for yet a week or two, but now they are slowly getting to big :-)
So it works to have a pool and no chemicals! Great! I can imagine how nice it must be to have that pool in warm summers!
Have a great day now!

I love the look of the back door ; )
Have a great beginning of the new week.

The gazebo will be beautiful and a wonderful place of peace.
The raised beds appear to be coming along well. I wish you a bounty crop for all you have, and will, plant.
The pool is gorgeous and I would love to stop by for a dip.

The door knocker is very neat!
In an earlier post you spoke of your Katsura tree - the cotton candy scent intrigued me. I am happy to say, I purchased a 7' one yesterday - and it went in the ground today. And it does give off the most incredible cotton candy scent! I think the honeybees will love it too.
I have my eyes on a tri-color Beech now. I'm trying to pace myself, only 1 or 2 new trees/bushes a week.
Thank you for taking the time to post the names of your plants/trees/shrubs.
The phlox are fabulous, the beech, well, words escape me. I adore them and fell in love with an especially gorgeous weeper in Maine.
Sending love, love,

Just as your garage door does. There is a complete energy that flows through your whole home and gardens. It must be very powerful to feel it in person. Congratulations for getting everything aligned perfectly! I know that it isn't easy, but it feels so good when it all comes together!
You've said that Teddy doesn't like to get her toes wet, but loves to be in a lake. .does she swim in the pool, or does she like to be able to put her feet on something solid?
