common_natureI took some pictures around the yard today. These show the house yard. See the House Yard, South Lot, Savanna and Prairie Garden, and Back Toward the House.
This is the new birdbath on the patio. It's sitting atop a can that collects water during a rain, where birds liked to splash. Hopefully they'll like this expanded option.
The rain garden is mostly green now. The middle is columbine, the back is bleeding heart in the center and heuchera on the right.
The bleeding heart is blooming in the rain garden.
Looking northeast across the house yard, you can see the log garden.
The pear tree is blooming in the orchard.
Lilacs are starting to bloom at the east edge of the house yard.
Looking east across the house yard, you can see the barrel garden.
The barrel garden has daffodils and tulips blooming.
Pink tulips stand near the barrel garden.
This one is red and yellow, likely a 'Rembrandt' tulip.
This is the forest garden.
Celandine poppy is sprouting.
Astilbe is sprouting. Last year I planted two 'Deutschland' astilbes and they both came back. :D Their frothy ivory flowers had a strong vanilla scent.
Bluebells are blooming in the forest garden.
The flowers really do look like tiny bells.
This hosta is just starting to send up shoots.
This one is already leafed out.
Garlic chives grow in the cistern garden.
Sorrel is getting big.
Oregano grows in the strip garden.
Bergamot is leafing out.
This is chocolate mint.
This is the old picnic table.
Moss covers much of the ground near the picnic table.
Here is a closeup of the moss.
Some of these wildflowers are starting to sprout.
This trough pot never grew much because it lacked drain holes, so I turned it into a mini water garden for the tree frogs who like to hang out on the picnic table once it fills with plants.
