I'm now having to water on the days it doesn't rain. To keep my new pretties alive. So bummed about our veggie garden. Even if I manage to dig out all the dirt. I'd still need to buy seeds and a couple bags of topsoil, then get my dad to rototill it. I'll still work on it. If I can't get it going this year, we'll try for next year. Need to prep the area either way. I did finally mow my yard. So here are my pretties.
Out front, a dwarf rhododendron with purple flowers by the mailbox. Red tulips, the daffodils and hyacinth are done already. Then there's two bushes of white peonies and one of magenta ones. The grapevine covers the trellis, with clematis coming up on the right, and our pretty little birch trees to shade the deck. I love having so little grass in the front.
Out back, our pretty little crab Apple with the willowy branches. Smells like love.
Verbanum, another lovely scent.
Two of our heather, green all year and blooming repeatedly from February through August.
The lilacs will be amazing.
Spirea, no flowers, just pleasing colorful foliage. This plant was half off dying and shriveled. Two years later it's three feet tall.
These pretty things come up every year. Purple
Lastly, my daphne. It was a rather expensive present and for two years it was doing awesome. Last fall a raccoon fell on it and I was sure that it would survive. I taped, yes taped, it together and it's alive. A little pancake shaped, but time should fix that. Meanwhile, another lovely scent.
Question. What is the purpose of a lawn?
