It's Thanksgiving 365 days of the year where I live. The turkeys are everywhere, they're worse than deer. Not a day passes where I don't see a group of turkeys crossing a street.

Removing the fence....

Removing the picket fence in our front yard was the easy part. Getting used to people being able to see our front yard and porch, the hard part. I'd been so used to hiding behind the fence, that my front porch had become a storage area of totes, boxes, old paint, and tools....ugly. So I got off my duff and cleaned it all up yesterday. I can't remember the last time my front porch was this clean, so I thought I'd better take a pic for posterity.



Now I have to quit hanging the garden hose from the house...people can see it now. lol

Click on the thumbnail. First one should be rotated right. Not sure why it's this way here.




Looks like photobucket resized them. Full resolution can be found here:

I haven't purchased any garden decor in a very long time, but I just couldn't pass her up (at 66% off).

Deck View - shady area

Category: Pianolady's Gardens | Posted: Thu Jul 02, 2009 12:17 am

In the never-ending attempt to get a decent photo of the dappled shade garden, a deck view is about all I can get. Ferns, Daylilies (which desperately need division, a few roses, peonies (which are done now), coneflowers that seem to do ok anywhere, and bee balm fill the area (along with endless trees that give me my exercise in pulling). The edges near the pond get more sun, and the fern areas get less.

Deep Blue

These blue tinged Delphiniums are my favorite. I don't recall the variety, but they are definitely the deepest blue flower I have in my gardens. From a distance they actually look blue, you don't see the purple until you get up close.

Cherries, and more cherries, and more cherries.....

Category: Pianolady's Gardens | Posted: Sat Jun 20, 2009 5:29 pm

So where did I disappear off to now? Picking cherries. This is the week we do nothing but pick cherries. We have a beautiful crop this year due to no late frost and consistent rain.



Then we pit cherries. As labor intensive the whole process is, it is still worth it. The Norpro Deluxe Cherry Stoner does a pretty good job, it can be found on places like Amazon or eBay. So far, I have 16 pounds of pitted cherries, with a long way to go...

The Big Picture 2009 - Part 1

Category: Pianolady's Gardens | Posted: Thu Jun 11, 2009 2:51 am

---

It's always a lot of fun to take close-up and macro shots, but sometimes I like to see the "big picture" of how a garden grows. Here's Part I of the big picture of my gardens. These are the shadiest areas, much gets no more than dappled sun throughout the day. I've managed to get peonies to bloom at the outer edges of the garden, where there is enough sun. Other plants that are successful are hostas, shasta daisies, roses at the sunnier edges, penstemon, grasses, iris, daylilies, clematis, trillium, mock orange, ferns, astilbe, bellflower, ajuga, and my favorite groundcover--sweet woodruff.
