I put in the garden above last year. Everything seems to be coming back just fine + I’ve added a few annuals for colour until the perennials start to come into their own. There are two small saskatoon berry bushes in there and a dogwood and I expect those to start really anchoring the centre of this garden this year.
This garden is in the back. I put this one in two seasons ago. It’s a little slower to come back and is in a shadier spot, but I think it’s coming along just fine. The border is made from some stuff that was lying around the place when we moved in. My plan is to replace a few of those cast pieces each year with nicer rocks.

Nice! I see lots and lots of lysimachia! 🙂
I’m sharpening the machete….may need it to save the neighbourhood from that purple stuff….everytime I blink, there’s more of it.
Beautiful. I particularly love the shape of the garden in the first photo and the rocks that you have used. Very nice.
thanks SP. I’ll post shots of the gardens periodically as they develop…I’m pleased with the spring garden but it should get better and better!
Looking good Eugene! Patience is a virtue when it comes to gardening. Heard you’re looking for an elusive mushroom. Have you found it?
still elusive. Good to hear from you Ingrid.
