Pretty combination


I love this combination of Lady's Mantle & iris.  It would be even prettier if the Lady's Mantle was in bloom, as its flowers are a bright lime green.  This is the first year these irises have bloomed - I am not sure what other colors there will be!  (The rhizomes came from a friend's garden :)

New shovel


My son & daughter-in-law bought me a shovel for Christmas.  It is a Sneeboer ladies garden spade, made in the Netherlands and it is fantastic!  Easily cuts through turf and although the blade has a bit of a curve, it still works well for edging.  I just LOVE it!
