Garden Update June 08

So, the garden is now largely planted (at least for the year). One order from Bluestone Perennials, one from Gilbert H Wild for daylillies, and one from David Austen for two roses (one of which has gone belly up, which is actually quite a trick for a plant, because, well...they ain't got no belly).

So, 6 weeks after the last pictures, here is Haggenwyn Farms.

For the newbies here, this is why our house is called Haggenwyn Farms.

Hope you like it. I sure do.

Garden April 08

After much consternation, and the lanscapers not really getting the idea behind the boulder wall at first...and leaving the pulled out trees...and other headaches the Gardens were installed in the front.

Voila

Here are shots before and after mulching. I installed the walls myself (just dry-stacked) out of one pallet of Germantown Schist. 3 yards of black mulch. As you can see, the Roses have turned into a Shakespeare garden. More on that in the June Update.

In the back, I put in a garden to back the wall next to the patio. Into this I transplanted the two azaleas that were just sitting in the ground (hardly planted) next to the shed. They were just blooming and I was worried, but they ended up doing great. That garden is also being planted with herbs, lavender, thyme, and rosemary. Which will give us something nice after the azaleas are done blooming. Erica's cut garden is exactly that, only annuals.
