The one lone iris bloom opened this morning! It’s gorgeous, and I couldn’t resist snapping a few shots with my camera. I finished the one remaining picture on that roll with the biggest blossom on one of our Cherokee Cheif Dogwood trees, a semi close-up. When these are developed, I’ll scan them in for this site right away!

We got some garden plants last night … and some flowering plants for the bern and where ever else they should go instead.

For the garden, it’s just tomatoes, different varieties; and peppers, and some herbs, for now. We have work to do in the garden, adding composted manure and reworking the space. We began re-doing it last year and never used it. We are digging in or up, not sure where it’ll end up, but we want to get it sort of like a raised garden bed. Our land slopes fairly fast and down in that direction, so it’s a bit confusing to describe.

I just had to get another Hosta. It’s different than what I have already. I’ll have to move mine around to get this on in the middle, where it’ll look best.

I can’t recall all that we got, but we have some Dahlia’s, a new Iris, some daisy things … begins with a G., and other flowering or greenery. All told, none of it’s on our landscape plan we had drawn up a few years ago. Of course. The bern isn’t on the plan either, we put that in last year when we put in the tree that’s the biggest thing in it. It just made sense.

We have many bushes to buy to put in around the front and back parts of the property, and by the house. It’s alot to do … so actually, making this bern and other areas how we want outside of the big plan, is not changing it, just adding to it. When we can put money into bushes, we will. As it is, what we bought last night would have bought precious few bushes!

We need to break up the sidewalk too, and put in a new one with pavers, or bricks, it’ll go in a different direction than that current cement one. At that point we’ll have more “have to” landscaping that we’ll get to, that’s on the plan.
