Here comes my series of pictures for mid-June. We may as well start with the least impressive ones! Caveat: I did some major re-working of the Welcome Garden this spring. For starters, I planted 12 Calgary Carpet junipers and 9 Arctic Fire dogwoods - except they're all really small at this point so they won't look like much this year. I also moved the Karl Foerster feather reed grass I had in the front corner (behind the sign) and replaced it with the variegated 'Avalanche' variety for a little more 'pop'.
Above: RIght now there are grape hyacinths, tulips, euphorbia and dwarf bearded irises blooming. There's not much yet, but I will be planting more spring-blooming bulbs such as tulips once the major renovations are over in this area.
Above: Here is the view from the house - which may not be important to you, but of course it is very important to me, pehaps even more important than the view from the street!
Above: And here's the view from the front bay window. I took Karl and divided him into 5 and planted him in a swooping curve around the base of the spruce tree. You can barely see them right now but they'll fill in, don't worry! I know it doesn't look like much yet but for me, this post will serve as something to look back on once everything has grown. In case you can't see where the Karl Jr's are, I circled them below:
