New Garden

Maximizing my time.

This week I am back to my normal work week leaving me with two days off.

I was finally able to fix the fire pit and plant the new garden.

This is the path to the fire pit.

It was originally red sand left over from a pool installation.

I hated the sand, it stained everything.

Today we will finish the far right corner and put the chairs back.

As for the kids having a place to play in the sand. 

 I think I have talked Mr. M. into building a sand box, seeing as that tree house has still not been built.

I washed the stones last night.

They look and feel like the pebbles from Olcott Beach.

I am glad I choose to go with the larger stone.

The left side of the garden was just planted last year.

Each year I will add a few plants until it looks like a full lush English garden.

No room for weeds.

This is the start of the new garden.

I have two flowering ornamental pear trees.

A Thuja Green Giant tree.

Two Limelight hydrangea bushes.

Several blue berry bushes.  That the birds have already discovered.

A Catmint plant.

 Some creeping phlox.

Boxwood bushes.

A pink rose bush.

Lavender.

Delphinium.

Foxglove.

One of my ROCKS.

I left plenty of room to add 6 of my arborvitae bushes that are in planters for the summer.

After two years of being in planters they are a nice size for my gardens.

Next year I will go with boxwood bushes in my planters.

I took these pictures in the morning so I wouldn't have the blaring sun, only problem, fog.

Oh well. 

At least my garden is planted and I can enjoy our 4th of July party/birthday party.

Thanks for stopping by.

I hope everyone has a wonderful July 4th.
