What Can I Say

Not only has the maintenance gardener been struck silent, he has stopped weeding. The final crescendo is in full swing. I don't want to mess with it now. I do however still have plans to edit the Tall Goldenrod, Solidago canadensis, in the upper section of the sunny utility meadow into a more distinct line sweeping across the meadow. I plan to try that anyway. At least some thinning of the goldenrod will favor other players.

A lot of new planting has been done around the old chimney. It will take on more form as the years gather.

Did I do this? I planted another dozen Yucca filamentosa. I made need a dozen more.

The other side of the roadside bed.

The front side. It hides a lot of what is going on deeper in the garden. It hides the cozy cabin from the scenic byway. These grasses are actually an excellent fast growing privacy screen.

I won't be seeing much of a car on the other side of that.

And if all that wasn't enough, the mountain is quickly turning blue.
