Garden Pictures

Wow! I haven't seen a frog that large since I left the South. I think yours have been getting into the plant food! ;)

It's growing rapidly.

Love this sedum with the blue. The dogs eat the grass in the planter.

Amber recuperating from being spayed. Mindy wasn't feeling very well because she also had shots with the spaying. They are doing much better today.

I can't believe you have a toad. Thant is very cool. I didn't know they were up here. Heronswood has bullfrogs and they are huge and make funny noises. I think they are bad and eat other frogs but still pretty cool seeing big one. Heidi

We do have the huge bullfrogs also. There is another one a bit smaller than the one in the picture that lives in my courtyard.

willow your garden is sooo beautiful! I can wait til mine and moms grow in like that! thanks for sharing :o) the pix are encouraging! :o) ~ love the fur babies too!

Thanks Anjl, Hope you will soon recover from your trip up here. It was just amazing how much work you all accomplished.

lol, I still havent left yet! will be leaving soon tho, hope to get home tomorrow sometime.

This is the smaller toad that lives in my courtyard, I believe she is the mother of the four littler ones that were sunning on the pond the other day.

Tiny Penstemon

Snaps came back from last year and are starting to bloom.

A few more frogs in the garden.

Pineapple Lily will soon be blooming. Grows inches every day.

Our current project. This is the stump of a very tall flowering plum that shaded the entire courtyard until last fall. We decided to dig it out and cut it off so we could fill it in and put the bricks back. The area had been raised inches with the roots. Got this far and called a bunch of people who grind stumps. Found one to do it for $75 and told him he had it. Will be here next Tuesday and then we will replace everything.

Meanwhile all the furfaces are enjoying the new sandbox.^_^

Kalmia

Beautiful daylily

This is getting very tall, I love it.

And it's tiny red flower.

Shasta Daisy 'Gold Rush'

There is a red astilbe in there somewhere.

Anyone know what this is? I think it is a wildflower. Comes in white and pink.

Campanula. That would look much better if I had deadheaded the rhodie first.
