| I've been working on a seating area to escape the late afternoon heat . The east facing side of the shed seemed the perfect spot. So, last summer I did a bit of aggressive tree and old shrub removal and left it till now. You can just make out the two chairs in the top left corner. |

| A closer look |
 |
| Here we are , the new shady seating area . |
 |
| I've spent the fine weather days out pulling out huge clumps of clover . The clover that happily lived in the lawn all these years . Now that the lawn in no more , I thought the clover should go as well , or at least most of it. Now we are ready for new planting. So, hurry up little seedlings . |
 |
| The new expanded shade garden is filling in . I've been digging up and spreading things out . The fence area is looking bare. I did pull out all the old shrubs last summer. Maybe the Rubus lineatus and Saulaman Seal will fill it in a bit for now. I hope so. I hate to see the fence. |
 |
| All the seedlings are ticking along , I've pricked them out and repotted the little spindly ones ( which was all of them). stuck them right back down to their leafy collars. All we need is HEAT . These will all go into my new planting area. I've got : Erigeron , Echinacea pallia, Gypsophila pacifica, Sunset foxgloves,Sanguisorbia , Salvis Greggi and a few more things... I can't remember . Will they bloom this year? |
