2013

My, how things change in a year! I was feeling a bit depressed about this border earlier in the season, but I'm thrilled with some of the new additions made in spring; they helped me define what I wanted the space to look like. 

It's coming along.

    1. Hi Nicole, Thank for your kind (garden-ego boosting) words! LOL. The russian sage is really the backbone of this garden. It is one of my very favorite plants. It drives my neighbor's nose (allergies) nuts... so I'm not going to tell her I planted two more in here today. Shhhh! In the bottom photo - the floating ball of craziness is a tree. You can see a really skinny trunk in the top photo. It's a Nishiki Willow (Salix integra 'Hakuro Nishiki') or Dappled Willow. Beyond gorgeous in the spring... with white/pinkish leaves. HIGHLY recommend it.

  2. That picture should be in a mawgazine or book. It's gorgeous. The place we bought this summer has not been landscaped in years, so we've got our work cut out for us.
