More Garden Stuff

Is there a book called the "Accidental Gardener?" Well, that would be how I stumbled upon my weekend project. It all started because the wiegela bloomed! Who knew Wiegela's even made babies!? Well, I assure you they do and very pretty ones.





So I got some black mulch and got busy reclaiming a corner of the garden I had long ignored. In fact, this spring, I thought the wiegela had died. so I am beyond happy with his come back. [yes, it's a he...don't know why].



See what I mean above. I had no plans to work on this section, but it called to me. I'm pretty happy with the outcome. The greenery in the background is beyond the fence and is my neighbor's yard.



Above is one of the prolific little old fashioned roses. This bush originally belonged to a family long ago and sat in the weeds by an abandoned homestead. My father recovered the bush and took it home. This is an offspring of the recovered bush [who has since fallen ill]. It's good to see new life in the next generation. This little yellow buddy is very fertile and takes good care of herself. I know thought I should give her some Miracle Grow or some type of nutrition.


Tree peony above has joined the members of the Japanese Garden.


Sweet Pototo fence 2.0. This one I plan on leaving in tact. In fact, I am going to dig around it and then place the soil back (to make it more rabbit proof) and then I thought I'd plant some flowers. And yeh...still need to plant the sweet potatoes! I get them from Burpee online catalog.





Side view of the shed, still looks tidy!

I transplanted some of the demon rose to this spot and she lived! YAY survival of the fittest in the "DArwin Garden". My dad was keen on roses, so growing them is a way to be closer to him.

Seems that I have a tendency to immerse myself in one hobby at a time. At the moment its gardening. I figure since I will never be artisitc in a traditional sense I might as well design and make things pretty in the garden.

So this is all for now! :)
