Garden Notes

Well, here’s what’s survived in the back yard.   I officially gave up on the heucheras today, as well as the lavender and lemon thyme from the side yard.

It’s definitely been a weird Spring, seeing what is coming back.

The climbing rose survived, but most of the top is dead.     That’s probably ultimately a good thing – I’ll be able to trim it back quite a bit this year, which should make it look better in the long run.     That’s basically what I’m trying to remind myself in general – it’s a good opportunity to try a few new things, and make what did survive stronger.
