The Shade Garden Is Coming Along

I would just like to say HELLO to

all our new followers...

it's so nice to have

you come to visit

us here in the country!

Our shade garden is coming

along nicely.

We bought a few more

plants and hubby worked

on the trellis

so now I just need to find

some climbing hydrangea for that.

Tara Dillard if you're reading this

my plan is to put mulch down for now

but as time goes by ...replace it

with a ground cover.

;)

One of the new hosta's in the 

photo above.

I've planted a few hardy ferns.

This is one of the smaller type but

I planted 2 that will be quite

large in time.

Ferns remind me of

when I lived in 

British Columbia.

I still have to plant the front

and back carriers 

on my old bike.

Here are a few of the hosta's 

that I just planted today.

I love the colors in the one above!

Above is a Japanese Painted Fern.

I love the colors in this Columbine.

I plan on planting pink and yellow 

David Austin Roses

and soon the 

house will be a soft yellow.

The fern and these two 

hosta's are new

Hubby got the wooden support 

strips on the trellis for the

climbing hydrangea.

In the background I hope to plant

a couple of Rhododendrons. 

Ok...I know these aren't shade 

plants but I just wanted to show

you the old wheel barrow 

hubby made for me years

ago.

Isn't it cute! 

I love geraniums.

Well...hubby is back from getting gas

for the power saw so we're off

to get firewood from along the creek

behind our farm.

No rest for the weary!
