Speaking of Bushes

So. In the past few days we have done a lot of work outside. I took out all of the weeds, wildflowers and this and that from all around the house. On the downhill side we put in three small Pieris Japonica

as foundation plantings.

on the upper ( right) corner of the front porch I out in one nice Enkianthus

hydragea ( 5 of them ) are in and

hydrangea

4 big yellow begonias

begonia  yellow

are in front along the front of the porch. . I put the begonias between and in front of the hydrangeas

I moved a lot of things... the hostas that were along the foundation are now under the weeping cherry.. one of the weeping cherries.. I am just going to let the other one weep to the ground I think? not sure.

Some shrubs found new homes..

I will have my morning glories of course! The Japanese Dwarf Maple in front has red, white and purple petunias planted around it.

My rose bush is doing well.. lots of buds..

All of tahe mulch is placed...WHEW!

None of these pics are from my house, as my camera is broken and I am waiting for the new one to arrive.

So that is what I have been doing the last few days.

Emmie update?

She is doing well.. all three cats slept on my bed last night, and that is real progress. It is going to be fine. Duncan cant figure out why Emmie doesn't love him as much as his Rose. Morgan is even warming up to her! all is well with the furkids..
pics will appear when the blasted camera gets here! lol

oh! what a yard you must have!

brown thumb, here.

i did just get a willow acacia from the City of Tucson for $6. it's an incentive to get folks to plant shade trees around their houses. it won't be giving any shade until long after i have moved out of this house, though.

thanks for the nice visuals!
