Around the garden

We are going to be adding to ours soon.

We are going to plant a blue ray kousa dogwood tree and some autumn twist encore azaleas out front. We are also looking for some native viburnum to plant, but we are having trouble finding any locally.

I am kind of obsessed with bicolored flowers right now... I want to also get some bicolored roses for near the mailbox, but that will be for next year perhaps.

I may share some photos later of some of the plants I mentioned us planting last year.. my plants near the house got injured when we had our roof replaced, so some of them could look a bit better, but they are still alive.

I have considered that for my deck. I saw a vertical version at someone's house once, and I thought it was neat. They were growing lettuce mostly, which is probably what I would do.

I  have a vertical tower as well  as six buckets in  two horizontal traditional planters.

No, just muck and filth.

It's true, there is something very 'clean' about hydroponics.

To an extent it looks lacking when you see it growing...

I am sure the taste is identical though.

We had our plants delivered yesterday. We planted 2 yesterday.. and hope to plant most of the rest today.

They are smaller plants, so it shouldn't take us too long!

We are also doing a little waterfall feature, just to the right of that.

This is as far as we have got:

Can you see the watering can? That's where the water will flow from.

You can also see that we have virtually demolished the wall to make way.

Thanks.

The walls are made of the same bricks as the house, it is just too much.

Cherry, maybe while you are over here helping me clean my house you can build a waterfall garden for me at the same time. lol....

Good idea, let's wait and do both together...

Okay, I am pretty patient...

Succulents can be easier to care for if you have a black thumb :-) Just don't over-water them!
