The Perfect Shade of Green

The hydrangea are ready to pop—the greenhouse is just at the end of the porch.

Good bones are what everyone wants in a house or garden. You can always fix the ugly with a little lipstick—or stone in this instance. I am shocked at the difference this small change has made in my back garden. A trip to the garden center happened shortly after this picture—even though they were closed. We still had a look around. 

We have a plan for the whole area, including the new greenhouse, shed/playhouse, and gravel and stone patio. Shrubs and bushes can be planted at any time up here, so shrubs and bushes are on my to-do list. No more half moss/half grass and a plethora of holes and tree stumps to fall over. 

Have a look around your garden and see where you can add a few plants or structures to fill in the blank spaces—I have quite a few after this winter.

The climbing hydrangea are to the top of the 6 ft wall!

We have been pressure washing all the porches—ready for a Summer gathering.

The gravel path is making gardening much easier.

Rain and cool weather=the perfect green!
