There’s been a TON of changes in my yard since I was able to post last. Real world really gets in the way when your president of a garden non profit for one term. Now, I am enjoying the ability to say yes and to say no.
So now I can spend some time showing you some of the changes I made last year. For starters all the oak leaf hydrangeas got moved close to the house right underneath the living room window. I bought four large boxwoods which came with a nice large price simply because I am at the stage of life where I don’t want to have the patience anymore to wait for them to fill in. I placed them in the middle of the front yard bed to give me a “back” to this bed. That way the grass of this bed can have small pops of color and so can the sidewalk side.
Almost every single plant that was here in 2022-3 has been taken out, relocated or just thrown out. Y plan is to have 70% of winter interest in my beds.
I am throwing in my favorites for texture and color as well as Fall color. Hydrangeas, coneflowers, alliums, tulips, nepeta,
Butterfly bushes….ferns (below)
The purple leaf plant you see is called Chocolate Eupatorium. I went on the hunt to find more but had no luck. This Spring if I still want more, I may divide this up as it stays fairly narrow.
I planted a big bunch of salvia (annuals) for the hummingbirds. This is Proven Winners variety, Rockin Deep Purple. One my go to favorites.
