new perennials in b4

I pulled out some daylilies (relocated to the daylily bed) and paired these sedum and speedwell with the black eyed susans, hydrangea, asters, echinacea, and salvia. 

SPRING IS HERE!

Daffodils and tulips by the family room

Helleborus outside the kitchen window

Woodland hyacinths everywhere

Vinca on the north side of the house

Star magnolia in bloom

I move the daffodils under the magnolia last week

Also blooming now: Forsythia, Pear Tree, Cherry Blossoms (the neighbor's), hyacinths.
Crocuses and snowdrops have finished up. 
I'm also happy to see that my oregano came back this year.  I moved the rosemary bush out of the vegetable garden plot.  It was just getting too big!

Bed by the street with rosemary bush and relocated sedum

Late summer pics

Just a quick recap of what is going on out in the back yard in mid-September (need to weed!):
Vegetable garden with the last of the tomatoes, marigolds, rosemary and broccoli and beet seeds. B7

Front porch garden with marigolds, sedum, and rose of sharon still blooming.  Red gaillardia still hanging in there. B6

 Garage side garden - needs some serious weeding, but the hostas are doing well. B4

 Daylily bed B5. It really was just all daylilies!

 Back fence line - B10

 North fence line B11. After I removed some thorny shrub.  I thought it was a rose of some sort, but the blooms were just tiny white flowers - definitely not worth the thorny mess. 

 Screen porch ferns B1

 New japanese holly and chysanthemums. B2

 Family room bed B3

Rose of Sharon Blooming!

Finally, confirmation that the shrubs/trees on the side of our house are Rose of Sharon.  They are just starting to bloom today.  We have some in B6 and B4 beds at the front door and at the side of our garage.  I'm not sure why I feel this way, but I think of Rose of Sharon as kind of....low class.  I wish I felt differently because we have a lot of them, and the flowers are quite stunning.
