Gardening Pics

Here's some pictorial evidence that J and I really did spend most of the weekend gardening. I meant to post these yesterday but was having some technical difficulty adding and moving pictures. Better late than never, I suppose!

("Velvet faces")

(Decorative cabbage, which the guy at the nursery had to

coax me to buy, but which I now actually kinda like)

(Green moss, chosen and planted by J earlier this year)

(Goldilocks, which we're hoping will take over a portion

of our front bed)

(Blooming gerbera daisy, which was a gift from a friend,

with hosta bloom in foreground)

(Very leggy, and thus far underutilized, herbs - tending them
yesterday has renewed my commitment to use them so they

don't get so out of control)

(The tree box's new look -- I wish we'd taken "before" pics,

because the change is really dramatic (the liriope is planted

too close together, but we had lots to offload))

(Aerial view of front bed, with more divided liriope, again

planted too close together -- hey, if anyone in the DC area

needs some liriope, let me know!)

(Aerial view of hosta bed (they're also planted too close

together, for the same reason as the liriope))

(Close-up view of front bed -- goldilocks and pansies)

(The bed nearest the house, with new snapdragons and

pansies for color, and new phlox that we hope will spread

all the way across the front edge and spill over the brick border)
