To: secret garden
i am allergic to beestings, but i have been coexisting peacefully with the bees for the past few years. i sent the real garden this AM. i didn't have time last night (it was already getting on dusk) to take an updated pic of it, bc the one i sent was spring and before the stuff really took off. this is only the second year for that particular plot. our driveway cuts through the center of our plot, and so that is on the other side of the driveway from our house. i put in a ton of perennials. my problem is that the ornamental grasses send runners and become virtual WEEDS in there, which is irksome. they will take over the whole dang place. my hibiscus has not yet bloomed this year, not sure why. but it spread on it's own and just popped up another whole plant next to the original.

Got the pic! Nice balanced structure - I'll bet it was spectacular in June. What do you have planted in the back? I can't tell what trees/shrubs are there but I love the mix of greens.
