Took these this morning thinking it would be better in case we get snow. http://s703.photobucket.com/albums/ww32 ... en%20Tour/
Palustris, Is this all your garden? they are beautiful pics. My yard is still needing cleaned up from winter. It's getting there, but I don't think it will ever look like this. not enough time for me to get to this. Maybe when I am done doing Farmers Markets every summer. That is a 12 hr 6 day a week job.
Every time I see your garden Eric it just gets better and better. How I'd love to wander around and drink in all those lovely plants.
Photos are really good, you cannot see that the lawn edges need doing and that a lot of the greenery is weed growth. Glad you enjoy them.
An enjoyable tour around your garden,..and you gave me some ideas as well,..a very interesting garden.
Hats off! My flower garden is really tiny compared to yours! Don't know how you cope! Everything is gorgeous, but my fingers in cooperation with my eyes lingers on that pink Lathyrus vernus (I only got the purple one), that pink Viburnum, that pink Pulsatilla (huge clump btw) and what is in pic. 63? Some kind of daphne? You may think I love pink... which really is not the case! LOL
The pink L. vernus is a seed weed, I keep having to dig them out, but oddly whenever I save seeds they do not germinate. The pink Viburnum flowers are white and the scent is heavenly. No 63 is Daphne Cheriton, one of the small alpine type ones. The Pulsatilla seems to have excited the opinions of all who have seen it, as apparently is is not the normal pink colouring found in them. Hopefully it will set viable seeds which may produce pink flowered plants. Sadly they cannot be split, disturbing the roots is death to an established one.
Wow! Things are really springing to life in your garden Palustris! Looking good! I really envy those of you with green houses this time of year. What are you going to do with all those twigs?
Those twigs are quite large pieces of Oak. they will be sawn up and keep us warm for the next 2 winters at least. The farmer up the lane from us is very generous in allowing us to glean the thinner stuff when his trees are either felled, or have to be pruned where they overhang the road. He keeps the big logs, we get what he does not want.
