It’s been a very long time since I did a post on the garden, and since they were always very popular I’m probably overdue for another!
Last weekend we bought a new whiskey barrel for our back patio, and planted a calla lily and some ‘red things’ in it. Our original barrel has this year been devoted to morning glories and some other type of flower at the base. Here’s a shot:

That light is solar powered. I expect we’ll have to move it when they grow in!
For the front yard, the first significant change I made this year was to remove one of the hedge bushes near our mailbox and letting the black-eyed Susan’s take over:
We also bought a ‘white bush’ (possibly a dwarf willow) and planted it near our steps:
It’s small now, but it’ll be bigger in a few years!
Lastly, in the ongoing struggle to control our ‘front garden’, we added more hosta and ferns. It’s slow going, but I think we improve it every year:
Incidentally this post was 100% done from my phone, which is what I plan on doing from Florida next week. How does it look?
