A years progress

Not sure if other people like to do this,

but I like to compare photo's of

how my plants have grown and evolved.

 

Last July we had a 30+ yr apple tree

completely split in two from the

weight of all the apples.

So I wanted to compare how

well our replacement trees did in a year.

 

 

New plantings then....

and now

 

 

 

I'm really happy how everything

came back bigger and better

after such a hard winter.

  I only lost one butterfly bush.

 

 

I'd like to introduce you to

our ponds new addition,

 courtesy of Amazon. 

 

 

His job is to scare off the real heron's

 that would love to munch on

our lovely goldfish babies that

hatched in the pond last summer.

He did scare Murphy and she

took off flying to get away from

him.  So hopefully he

will keep heron's away.

 

 

I'm really happy with how

big my hostas are getting

Most of these ferns and

hostas were dug up

at a military housing area

 that was being torn down.

 

I would dig up a few little ones

a day and became known to

the Military Police

on base as the

flower lady.   Hee Hee but they

let me do it discretely.

 

 

 

 

The plant stand under the trees

is a great garage sale find.

I'm in the process of refurbishing my Premo

Garage Sale find of the year....maybe even ever

soon to come in a future post when it's done. 

I so love a deal!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by and seeing

how things have grown!

 

Happy Summer To You!
