We are back after being away for a week. The garden has evolved.
Front--every thing has faded except the wiegela that is now in bloom.
South side--nothing in bloom here
Back--wow, what a show. The bridal spirea are spectacular. It seems they were benefited by the horrid winter that killed a lot of other stuff. They have thrived since that winter. The ninebark are in bloom along the back. In the perennial garden there are poppies in bloom, lavender iris and the cute little biokova geranium.
The water fall looks fantastic too--in the back the summer snowflake viburnum is incredible, the chives are in bloom as are the lavender and the dark purple iris. And the potentilla is really blooming too.
The grass was in bad shape--needs to be cut and trimmed and we need to get the water on it.
I am also trying some new things for pest control. I killed the new guinea impatien last year with bug spray so I am trying some Mrs. Meyer soap and water. If it doesn't kill it I am hoping it will keep the bugs off.
The other is a Bayer 3 in 1 stuff for roses that you put in the water and dump on the roots--supposed to be a fertilizer, bug repellent, and disease control. See if it works.
