This is the back yard when we bought the house
in Oct 2019
The patio was small and cracked so we redid it.
This was our downstairs patio a year ago.
I just always saw this as being a secret garden area.
Since it is very private and secluded. You would
never know we live in a subdivision
would you? I love that I can't see any houses
out my windows!
This is it today as I envisioned it to be
my secret little garden!
A large majority of the plants are
from my old house that makes
them so much more special to me
to see them thriving so well.
These large caster bean leaves
look exotic and tropical to me.
They are annuals here and I will replant them
again in the future.
These pink coneflowers are doing so great.
They were never this big at my old house!
I spray painted all my metal wall hangings black and
wired pots on them
I think they make the wall interesting and pretty.
This is my planters early spring.
I also planted gourds for the first time in a
raised planter we made.
They are growing and should
be pretty in a bowl this fall!
This vine growing over the trellis is white Clematis
that will bloom in the fall. It has grown gigantic
compared to the tiny plant I planted. I wasn't even sure
it would make it. I said ok little plant you better
get to growing or I will yank you, and I guess it listened!
This is early spring- May 15th
and this is now...
My planters are bursting!
This wisteria ,that planted that will hopefully cover
the pergola in the spring one day.
I planted hyacinth beans which bloom
pretty purple flowers in late summer.
The white container under
the deck that is my butterfly enclosure.
Quite a change from 2 yrs. ago. All is thriving
and nature has come to our back yard. We have a
family of bunnies living in the yard.
I see lots of birds.
I have lots of host plants for butterflies,
Milkweed, a spicebush, Rue, dill,
parsley & carrot greens.
I have also read that my cherry tree's
are a host plant for a type of butterfly.
I also see a lot of hummingbirds
in my garden. Which I love!
We built it and they are coming!
It took a long time but Monarchs finally
showed up in my yard this summer.
This is 2 Monarchs
mating on my cherry tree.
I am waiting on several to turn.
