Garden Addicted
Ok, Here is my front yard as of Jan. 26, 2012
The front of the house faces the North and gets a lot of shade during the summer.
This is what I see when I look out my front door.
My birdbath has a tiny garden, it has Nasturtiums, lettuce, and Spider plants in the ring.
Right now this bed is pretty much empty. It runs along the front porch.
I planted some Hollyhocks, and some Red Poppies in it, along the rock border there are garlic chives.
And there are a few Irises, I need to move them to a new place.
Near front door, there is a Lemon Grass, Rosemary, and some Green and Purple Shamrocks.
but nothing has really come up yet. There are also perennial Morning Glory vines in that bed. I am
hoping the Morning Glories will again grow along the eaves of the front porch since my over 20 year
old Algerian ivy plant died this year!
This in just across the path from the empty bed above.
It has an assortment of perennials, small yellow mums, Lantana, Melissa(Lemon Balm), Sage, and a few types of Pestemons.
Dusty Miller, Feverfew, and a few other things I don't recall at the moment. The Nastirtiums are just starting to come in now.
This is the new path to the side yard I put in a few months ago. Between the stones are wild violets.
On the right hand side are some Algerian Ivy plants I am hoping will begin to cover the water pipes that are sticking out like a sore thumb now since the Ivy died.
This is the flowerbed beside the new wild violet path. You can't really see what is in there.
Red poppies coming up, Johnny Jump ups, Alyssum, Lobelia, some Purple Wandering Jew, a few Snapdragons, some lettuce, Spearmint, (in an old washtub set in the soil, but it still escapes!) Also near the front door on both sides are Lemon Grass, and Green and Purple Shamrocks.
This was how the trellis looked on 1 21 2012
Covered with dead Morning Glories, and you can see along the eaves of the house
and along the porch it was covered in dead vines
I had to pull down all the old vines that ran along the porch and up the side of the house.
The house looks naked now!
These are all my "before" photos. When I think things have grown enough to see a big difference I will post the newer photos, hopefully from the same angle of the "before" photos.
I hope to see how your garden progresses as the year goes by.
