New Garden on the Patio



There are a lot of pictures I've taken in the past few weeks that I have wanted to post but Carleigh and I have been very busy dividing and moving perennials.

One major renovation I'd like to share is on our patio. It was a group effort with help from Mike Jackson last fall, using the skid steer to pull out the less than desirable shrubs. Mike Olizarevitch helped with the sod lifter and the stone cutter to even out the interlock. I removed remaining roots, amended the soil and placed stones along the edge to hold in the soil. Carleigh and I chose some beautiful plants that I'm sure will look great throughout the season. Heuchera "Dolce Blackcurrant" is a relatively new cultivar and the three hydrangea serrata "Fujinotaki's" are sure to be knock outs!

It's projects like this that make me so happy because it is a beautiful improvement on an otherwise dull corner of the patio.
