There are Ferns called Winter Ferns...that stay green in winter...What do you think about that??
Also there is an Evergreen Clematis...I could use that on the wire fence instead of English Ivy.
Decisions decisions..
Planning this keeps me busy..Since I cannot
plant or transplant anything. At least I can get the plan in place..I am anxious to see my new Day
lily in bloom, the Little Missy...The package shows a lovely fushia colored
flower..
I still have not removed my junk from the area...It has been raining..<which is good, the ground will be soft>> so I can dig out the unwanted
plants easier. Once I get everything dug out then the whole area will be covered with thick plastic to keep it
weed and
plant free til planting time.
The Day lilies and hosta that I have in the front are coming up. But it was freezing last night..So I am waiting for about a month to transplant them to the back.
I forgot I have a Gardenia
tree too..It is about 4 ft tall and in the front. I am moving that to the back also. I may extend the garden to the left of the big
tree so I can put in the lovely sitting area that rue suggested. I want that whole area to be a lovely
flower garden. I did not want to make too much work..Too much work always deters me..So a little at a time. The area to the left of the big
tree is pretty flat. It use to be a huge dog kennel. The 6ft fence would be extended to the
tree..And I am plotting to put a black marble wall fountain in that area backed up against the would be 6ft fence...Ahhh I have to stop plotting or I will make the project too big.
It is about 15 ft by 10...Rue do you have any ideas for that area???? I could just plot it out and put down plastic to clear out any
plant growth and then continue with that part next
spring...That way I could get the benches at a discount in Fall.
