Last year was a challenging year.
Tasha Tudor inspiration-
Love this idea!
Tasha Tudor plants three of the same plant in three different spots, then she moves the ones that are not flourishing to the area where the one plant is thriving.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the back patio- I hate the color of my walls
puzzle- how to draw eye away from nasty color?
****Not my photos**** small pieces of online photos
Watched Garden Smart this AM on Public Television-
some notes from the show
layers
full sun (size and light) balance
tall junipers (spiral) to anchor and add height-
boxwood- dark greens- winter gem
spirea - double play - bright chartruse
barberis (bright aurea golden barberry)
weigelia- wine and roses- nice plant with lots of blooms
red barberry (I don't like the reds?what to substitute here? - but it helps make the yellows pop)
add in annuals for color in the front -
wave petunia - purples and reds
bright reds
Make sure the soil is good
buy 8 to 10 annuals to add bright color each year
till clay to loosen add organnic choice top
till into clay add mulch
drip irrigation system
time release fertilizer 4- 12 months release
water and temperature
Add finishing touches like a fountain.
to the entryway
adds a nice sound.
container gardens to fit space add colors to go with house
how to hide an ugly wall? Houzz
I LOVE this idea
