Empty Canvas

There's been very little time for landscape gardening this year, and my canvas was still under construction, but now we are almost at the stage where I can start thinking about trees and shrubs and perennials again.

I hope to draw from my daughters' gardens, just as they drew from mine when they started theirs.

I also brought a few divisions of my favorites from my last garden and stuck them in a row in my vegetable garden.

I also plan on using some of the shrubs and trees that are growing wild throughout the property.

The fun will be planning.  But oh what a lot of work to put it all together!

Sunday Stroll Through the Property

 

I love to be able to just stroll around our land and see what is happening.

This week I discovered a butterfly garden.

I really don't know why the butterflies were there, but they were fluttering all around me.

 

 

The viburnum is in full bloom and so pretty.

 

I discovered some honeysuckle,

and buds on the grape vines.

 I even found some daffodils,

 And my mystery flower, the elderberry is now in full bloom.

It was a beautiful day!
