Planting, planting, planting

Well I finally got the boxwoods planted.

I put the alyssum along side them,

but they don't show up much just yet.

 I lost two shrubs from damage by voles this winter and

then I decided to try a new shrub rather than

repeating what I had.  So I went for these

Dwarf English Boxwoods.  They are supposed

to be very slow growing and easy to take

care of. 

The sundial my sister gave me seems to work rather

well set in this area.

My Coral Bells and hostas are rapidly growing!

You can see the Jack Frost, Brunnera in the background.

I do love that plant.  It's been blooming for two weeks and

still going strong.

Out back behind the water fountain area I have these large rocks

setting about.  I planted some Japanese Forest Grass (Hakone) next to 

a couple of rocks this year.  The Sweet Woodruff is blooming

right now..it has a nice smell.

Sunday morning was pretty and I enjoyed watching

the sun making it's way through the woods

to the back yard.

Mother nature has it together!  You can't 

compete with the beauty she provides! A

little heavenly sunshine and you've got a

perfect mix!

Spring into Summer 2010

 I took a steady amount of pictures this spring and summer of my gardens.  I put this video together from some of those pictures I captured.....turn on your volume and listen to the music too!

 
This is so compressed it's best viewed this way rather than full screen....
This was created by using pictures I took with a digital camera and applied them to a program called iMovie on my iMac computer- the quality is much better than it shows here, blogger compresses it so much it's a little fuzzy looking. 
Music is from a CD called Garden Thyme, song title is Heartline
