Spring is my favorite season, no doubt about it. I combined my new fascination with PocketBooth with my love of my garden in a little photo collage celebrating spring in my garden.
Given that my garden is 90% in the shade, it's a challenge to get anything to grow. The snowball bush came with the condo and will actually grown into a tree if you let it. The drawf mondo grass took about 12 years to get it to cover my whole path (and I'm still working on spreading it past my yard). I've already discussed my glorious rose, which is giving it's last hurrah this week.
I'm lucky to have a garden in my condo. It's called "Limited Common Area." I'm allowed to landscape and plant (with approval) 20 feet from my house. I can only go ten because of the privacy bushes that somebody planted back there before I got here and besides right past the bushes is a big hill. 10 x 40 feet is just enough garden. I put in a patio and a path and have spent the last 15 years trying to get sun plants to grow in the shade. I know, a futile endeavor, but it gave me something to do.
I stop going out there in June when the mosquitos invade, but the cats stay out there year long. I swear the garden furniture is just for them.
