In its second year, I'd say the front Entry Garden is filling in nicely (I just wish the patio fairy would come put in that patio for me...!) There are veronicas, phlox, daylilies, helenium, poppies, yarrow and lots of self-seeded borage blooming right now.
Above: view from the front steps. The hydrangeas close to the house are mostly in shade but the rest of the garden is sunny.
Tip: the bamboo tipis are to cover choice plants that I don't want the hares to nibble. I only keep them on when the plants are young. Once they are established they have to be able to fend for themselves. If a plant really can't survive on its own in the hare-heaven of my front yard, then it gets moved to the back or donated to a friend. Next year there will be no tipis in my front garden.
