1. I pulled out the purple pansies because their color wasn't jiving with the rest of the garden.
2. I added two red fiberglass pots filled with annuals - there's one on the right, and one on the left.
3. We took down a giant norway maple branch in the back and have yet to remove it.
It's looking lovely! Is that a Japanese Maple on the right? I love all of the Hosta - it's such an easy, high impact plant compared to most.
ReplyDeleteLooking good!
ReplyDeleteGarden envy. Major garden envy.
ReplyDeleteMulch is magical. Like slapping the perfect jewelry and handbag on a good outfit, it elevates the whole look. It looks great!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I'm seriously intrigued about your fence though. What can you tell me about it?
ReplyDeleteLove the way you have stretched out and smoothed the curves of the garden. Nice job with the mulch.
ReplyDeletelove, mom
Hi Snooks! Our fence is split bamboo. It comes in 13 feet lengths from your local Ace Hardware store. Ours special ordered it for us. We're very happy with it.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree - one day, used wisely, can be so transformational! Your yard looks great... I'm going to get a more update photo of our garden.. it's slowly starting to come out of the death grip of winter and it's looking surprisingly lush!
ReplyDelete- agata.
Hi - What a great combination of colors and textures - very painterly! I have a question, though - what are the chartreuse-y things? Hosta? Do you know what variety?
ReplyDeleteCool pics mate,thumbs up for ya.
ReplyDeleteHi Jen! The chartreuse-y things are actually heuchera (coral bells) in a color called Lime Rickey or Lemon Chiffon (I can't remember which!)
ReplyDeleteits so cute! its is screaming for a lovely blanket and a picnic lunch
ReplyDeleteHoly crap, your BEFORE makes me jealous. I want more flower beds! Isn't mulch the best?
ReplyDeleteHola - I love the way your beds flow. My husband and I both go with the landscapers code - no gardens or flower beds should have straight lines. I just found your blog and now don't remember how. Oh and I just google mapped Holyoke, Mass b/c I had no clue where it was. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI just discoverd Bamboo as a privacy fence myself. I love not having to dig!! Your backyard is absolutely beautiful. I'm STILL trying to fill in my Bald spots! Great job.
