So much beauty and such a difference from the way it was at the end of your winter! Your new beds have done so well! I suspect you hardly missed your tree? It's so good to see the logs and disks you saved from her. They really do add to your garden design!Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069419364783245762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-54686699344425924012011-09-04T12:47:40.212-05:002011-09-04T12:47:40.212-05:00Sue, beautiful picutres as always!

The step...Thanks for all the encouraging comments.<br /><br />The stepping rings are from the silver maple tree that was no longer safe, and had to be cut down. We can't sink them because of the roots that are close to the surface. We had a couple storms this summer, where trees were uprooted and fell on houses and garages, so I'm glad the tree wasn't there. The main branch that was unsafe was over the house, so even though we do miss it, it is best that it is gone. I've heard that you shouldn't plant another tree for 5 years, and it should be 5 feet away from where the previous one was. It would also need to be 8 feet from where a sidewalk would be, so I'm thinking we won't have a good spot for another tree. There are lots of huge trees in the neighborhood, so we can enjoy them, and rake their leaves in the fall.<br /><br />I have some Russian sage that is not in a good spot. I wonder if it could be transplanted in the spring. I like the idea of having it in front of the house.<br /><br />I have persicaria in a spot where it will provide screening from the east.<br /><br />We got the bird bath at the Haymarket Farmer's Market from the people who have brightly painted items made from farm implements. They are on the south and west side of the main area. I noticed rust in the bowl of it. Larry said he thinks it was already there before they put a seal on it.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-14367663966821155212011-08-31T17:56:52.371-05:002011-08-31T17:56:52.371-05:00Beautiful post, Sue...it must be so uplifting to w...Beautiful post, Sue...it must be so uplifting to walk up the sidewalk to your front door, surrounded by so much beauty!

One warn...Sue, I always love to visit your garden.<br /><br />One warning about some grasses, they self-seed and then it looks like you have grass growing among the flowers! My eragrostis has done that. I may eliminate it.<br /><br /><br />If you want some fast privacy consider your persicaria polymorpha. I have a row of them screening the kitchen garden. They get about 5 feet tall tall and 4 feet wide pretty fast.gldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645803822598151817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-78809074551346305212011-08-30T03:14:19.790-05:002011-08-30T03:14:19.790-05:00Beautiful garden, beautiful pictures!Beautiful garden, beautiful pictures!Anne Fanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371355224273059801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-55030280318183709232011-08-30T02:44:44.712-05:002011-08-30T02:44:44.712-05:00You showed 2 plants today that I've been consi...You showed 2 plants today that I've been considering for next year--Kiss me over the garden gate, and Love lies bleeding. The catalogs only show the blooms, not the whole plant-but now that you've shown them in their entirety-I'm getting them! Lovely!!<br />If you have dry sun-have you considered Russian Sage? That is my most bee-friendly plant along with Cleome.
