If you check out my Aug 5th view, you'll see that my view was not so pretty for a couple months. The tree service finally got everything hauled away, but by that time my plants were very smashed, trampled on and all the markers had been flattened, raked up and tossed into a pile or lost. That area was well passed needing a redo, so I dug everything up and put in 2 raised beds each 12'X4'. The stepping stones that were used for edging are now being used for a path way between them. When I get some help, I will moved the trellis back in the corner in front of the Hydrangea bush.

The third of the beds nearest the trellis will have lilies, the middle of both beds, Iris and the fronts, daylilies and miniature Iris. Will have to wait till they bloom to be able to ID everything and decide if they will need to be moved again. The Iris were way overdo to be divided and I ended up with just a few good pieces of each, so it may take 2 years for them to bloom. but I think they will like the raised beds.

Will put narrower paths around all the other sides of the beds for easy access, and then need to redo some of my old paths so that they will match up with the center path. Am trying to get all the vines killed off the chain link fence and will redo that area too. What with moving paths around, I may come up with a little extra planting space.

Guess one of the fun parts of gardening is that our views are always changing. (sorry about the view of my cat)
