I've been spending at least several hours each day in my gardens, finetuning them for the wedding. I have a long way to go. This is the door to the garage bathroom. Though it may look pretty, all I see are a few of the gazillion boxwoods I need to trim! The green monster on the left is a climbing hydrangea which will be glorious when it blooms.
And this is why I no longer plant wisteria anywhere. Click any pic for a closer look.
I planted all of my tomatoes yesterday which might be a mistake because I just watched the weather and it said we will have two nights this coming week where temps will drop to the low 30's.
Ferns are popping up everywhere. Plus, I've planted more than 50 ferns in the last few weeks.
The hostas are opening too.
On the upper left are some of my ramps. They have not naturalized yet so I can't pick them.
A newly planted fern. When you plant things in their natural habitat they respond by doing the plant version of jumping for joy.
Most of the ferns I planted unfurled within a day or two.
A look down the dry creekbed. As soon as businesses open, I will have a crew out here trying to get the system up and running. I know at the very least it needs a new pump.
New hostas planted along the perrons are beginning to open.
Giant 'jack in the pulpits' opening. I planted a lot of these recently too.
Trilliums scattered about. I plant more each year hoping at some point they will spread.
My mayflowers! When I was a little girl, I played in the woods all the time. My friends and I used to pick mayflowers and hold them over our heads like umbrellas. They have always been one of my favorites. My dandelions are doing better than any other plant. I've given up fighting them and I now embrace them.
This whole area is being planted in ferns and succulents. You can see the bag of soil. We are loosening the dirt and enriching it with some new soil as we go along.
I'm also replacing dead ferns along the creek.
My sweet woodruff is finally naturalizing.
Soon this will be a dense woods.
The walk back up to the mother ship. So much more work to do.
