Last night, I finally had a chance to get some new shade plants in the ground. This year I'm trying to stick to native perennials. Not only are they beneficial to the animals in the area - but for the most part - they are relatively easier to take care of compared to other plants.
(back row: Foamflower tiarella cordifolia 'Wissahickon' front row l.-r.: Coral bells heuchera 'Paris', heuchera 'Miracle', heuchera 'Snow Angel'. All from Terrain)
While I was outside, I felt like I was being watched. Normally, I'm tracked by my nosey neighbor, but this time it was a robin red-breast checking out my work. (He looks far away, but was hoping around me about 3 feet away)
And take a look at my veggie box progress. Things are actually growing...who knew!
One of the garden gnomes also found a spot next to the new plants to enjoy his smooth jazz.
Does he take requests?
ReplyDeleteI'll be building at least one raised flower bed this weekend, but probably using landscaping timbers. I will need to get mine gnome approved.
ReplyDeleteYour veges are looking great. The gnome is pretty cool too - a real garden now.
