Everything is nice and green from all the rain. The front grass looks the best it has all year. DH planted some seed again a couple of weeks ago and it finally took and filled in the bare spots.
I never did get out to finish dumping the deck containers. Maybe tomorrow......
those asters are beautiful. I have seen them in yards and wondered what they were, they have a phlox like habit, but from the car, I could never tell what they were! Now I know!
I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently.
During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings.
I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.
