| These are from late May, 2003. This set of images are of the sunny perennial and mixed beds in front of the house. |
The new bog bed is recently planted and going nicely. Here's banana, EE's, lobelia, gas plant and some annuals. |
Main sunny perennial bed, about 40 by 40, is waking up. The Dianthus grationapolitanus 'Cheddars Pink' is lovely this year.

The photos below are of the woodland area in the back. This is a major work in progress at the moment. About 1000 plants were put here this last fall and spring and another 1000 bulbs are planned for October. Recently created Fern bed under deck. Asarums love it here too. Arisaemas are planned for here later.
