If April showers bring May flowers, what the hell does all these May showers bring?

Ha! We were watching Atomic Train and suddenly the dwinn says, "General Hammond!" as Don Davis came on the screen. It was both exceedingly cute and a little disturbing ( Read more... )

It's looking great.

Thanks!

HEEE!!! GNOME!

Looks like you've been hard at work!

I think I shall hide gnomes all over the garden.

And next year, when I'm bitching about how hard it is to maintain all this garden crap, you can laugh at me.

Beautiful beds. But you have bare chainlink fence! You should do fun things with the fence!

I use my fences for clematis, wisteria, and trumpet vine, although many people consider the latter to be a pest. But humingbirds love it...

Here's a pic of one of my clematis:

This one isn't going up a fence, but I have several that do.

Of course, I have no idea where you live, so maybe they wouldn't do so well in your growing zone...

*hugs*

Oh, that's a lovely clematis!

I'm in Zone 5, and clematis is on my list one that back bed is done. I also have sweet peas, moonflowers and cypress vine (seeds) to put along the fence. I may do some morning glories at some point, too.

Wow, that's quite the number of beds to keep up with. But it's nice that they're all spaced out like that and organized. Whereas I just have the Back yard of overgrown and yet eroding Doom.

It is nice to only have to clean up the pre-existing beds, considering how much of a PAIN digging oput the new one was (but it's done!).

I shudder to think how much Stargate and Farscape minutae I've picked up by osmosis.

iuliamentis, care to weigh in?

Yes, but you are a nerd-trivia sponge anyway.
