At the back of our house, there is a wooded area. It wasn’t always that way. Apparently an earlier resident of the house did a lot of tree planting on the property. Just in front of the wooded area, we have a little woodland garden, that we call, for obvious reasons, the shovel garden. Beyond that is a lean-to. It collapsed over the winter, and I rebuilt it this afternoon.

Hostas are up but not opened up yet. The bleeding heart is looking good and two of the trillum I planted have come back and are in bloom. There’s a honeysuckle starting to climb up the shovel. If it does really well this year, I’ll train over to the lean-to and let it climb all over that.
