"Life is too short not to surround yourself with beautiful things" - Unkown
I've learned to love and embrace our little run down condo as home. I am lucky to have space in front and in back of our unit to create pretty spaces. Most of the perennials that I planted in front last season have returned. The lilac bush that we planted from cuttings is now three years old and is really starting to flourish, I may see flowers on it next year. I panted Sweetgrass last fall but I'm not sure if it survived the harsh winter.
My father-n-law gave us some beautiful fieldstone for a natural border, I think it really ties the garden together. The stone compliments the plants and my metal garden sculptures.
I also have big plans for our back patio. We have a large tree that acts as a natural awning over the patio which means that I am limited to planting shade and partial shade plants. After doing some research I found that many herbs can grow in partial shade including oregano and lemon balm, so I will try those back there and see how they do.
