Sidewalk garden

 

 

Now that this border has filled in a bit, what do you think of the firecracker gomphera?  (Pink flowers)  It's a bit wild, but I like it. 

 

Pond Patio

 

I have been busy building a small patio on the south side of the pond. In the first picture, I have rolled away the large boulders that had edged the pond. you can see the black liner and the wire for our underwater low-voltage lights. In the second picture, I have gotten some flagstone in place and in the bottom picture, you can see what the patio looks like from the west edge of the pond.

Garage garden

The oriental lilies in this garden are in full bloom. When they are done, there are turtleheads that will begin to bud. Just love the variegated fleece flower in the bottom picture. I used to have two, lost one two winters ago and haven't been able to find another.

Front border

The border on the east side is really looking good. The Walker's Low catmint (purple flowers) have been blooming since May. 

Pond Path

Slow work, but progress being made.

Water Lily

A surprise when I went out to work around the pond - one of my water lilies is blooming!
