Here are the 3 other beds around oak trees, along with the beds I made on either side of the driveway. Oh, and one shot of a lily when I was playing with my camera. Thought the texture and color of the lily were nice.
We have an almost entirely shaded property, so we are learning new plants to use. Caladiums are a fav anyway, and she is using lots of different ferns, Impatiens, lilies.
We have three small sunny areas, one for the tomatos and peppers, one for the okry, and a small area by our mailbox, which she surrounded with sun plants, wandering Jew and mums.
I dont know just what she will plant in the bed around the fountain, but it will probably be caladiums, lilies, and various ferns. Yesterday I finished the electrical outlet and picked up the soil for it. I plan to place and level the base for the fountain before church and spread some dirt afterwards. Then I outta here! An afternoon of R & R before starting the final project of the summer tomorrow, building a screen back porch where someone had enclosed the porch into a storage room with plywood siding. It is not weathering well and looks terrible, so I am going to rip out the siding and two windows and re-space the vertical supports to an evenly spaced arraignment and make screens for them. Whew! Then a winter off, cabin fever and FReeping. Next year I get a reprieve from hunny-doos in the yard and get to work on my old car.
