Here are just a few photos of my garden taken in May. The main back garden is in it's forth year! The rock wall was built by hand (still so proud of my husband and a lovely Albanian man named Leonardo) using rock "obtained" from a nearby quarry - it is dry stacked and filled with rich garden soil. The shade garden has done very well but the sunnier side in the first photo still lacks the substance that I have envisioned. A work in progress!
My husband loves maples (lucky me!) so when he found this chartreuse color beauty, he knew it would look great in this spot in front of our entranceway. He created this little raised feature in 20 minutes and I think it looks perfect... I've yet to plant some colorful annuals around it to highlight it and to remind us to keep it watered...
My favorite garden activity is container gardening... I have always planted Cordyline as the central feature in this pot (below) but it often becomes literally overshadowed by some of the agressive annuals later in the summer, so I chose a healthy Canna and it looks great so far!

I'll keep you posted on how things are growing!!
