I do love this bed!!! You just are drawn to it … great mix of plants and “garden art”. And yes, I would love to know what you are growing in that bed. I see a Coneflower …

This looks great. Should be exceptional when in full bloom. I to would like to know what you have in this garden as mine is all perennials. You’ve been very busy since you started these gardens at you’re new home. looking forward to seeing them in person very soon.

That will be nice once it fills out.. Looks like you payed attention to mature plant height too, when selecting your placement which is good and will save having to move things.

Nice work.

I do love gardening GramT but I have decided I hate weeding them. (lol)The soil in my gardens ended up having a ton of weeds in them.But it keeps me out of trouble ha ha ha

Hear ya on that one … with all this rain and humidity, the weeds are just thriving this year. Only saving grace is the ground is soft, so pulling them out by the root is easy.
