Time in the Garden & Photo Tour
Jun 15, 2009 | 9:51 PM PST

WoW-we are finally done preparing, celebrating & entertaining.  We had such a fun time celebrating DD's graduation, but it was a lot of work.  As we all know, there's nothing like a party at your house to get that wish list done!  The garden was tidy but, unfortunately, the grass seed didn't cooperate enough.  We had a huge space from the blue monster last year that needed attention.

The hard winter toasted my hedge at the entrance to the courtyard, so I tore it out along with the Hebe that bordered the ramp.   So before the party, I replanted the hedge with Buxus 'Wanford Page'  and edged the ramp with Carex testacea 'Orange sedge'. 

I took a bunch of photos while the new grass was being watered this afternoon, they are under my new album  "6/15/2009".  

We have had beautiful weather for the last two weeks so we are all looking forward to plant growth and possible blooms soon!

Enjoy!
