I was just looking back through this blog and see that I skipped from 2017 to 2020. Guess I have been just too busy to post what's going on. I will now continue with spring 2020.
My garage slab has one long side that is two sections with a walkway between the sections. I posted pictures of the right side of the walkway and her is a picture of the left side of the walkway. I have Iris planted in the right section and hope to plant Iris in this left section this year 2021. I will leave the Poppy that is there but will remove the other plants especially the huge Catmint.
This is the bed at the end of the slab. I redid it this spring (2020) and put all Iris in it. I am so anxious to see how it comes through it's first winter. This picture was taken on 4/20/2020.
This is the beginning of the slab bed, the left side of the walkway on 4/24/2020.
This is the end of the side slab, the left side of the walkway where I planted the Iris.
This picture was taken on August 19 when I finished planting the Iris.
I had quite working on the end of the slab bed until August 12 because I got busy working in other areas of the yard and then flowers started blooming. I started digging up areas of three other beds in an attempt to redo them. I gave my DB a lot of my flowers that had become invasive to me, such as ditch Tiger Lily, garden phlox, and ferns. I didn't get any of these 3 beds finished instead I left them for spring of 2021. I built one raised bed in front of the small asparagus patch and put Iris in it. I put in a vegetable garden again so it was time to work on getting the ground ready and getting things planted.
I planted my tomatoes, bell peppers, green beans, peas, and broccoli in ground next to my Garden Shed. DH planted one row of potatoes. In my raised vegetable beds, I planted green onions, more tomatoes, and carrots. Several of the raised beds that were usually vegetables became Iris beds.
In August my sweet Dizzy got ran over by our nephew by accident which broke my heart. He was a constant companion in the yard. So I named a central section of my garden for Dizzy which became 'Dizzy's Garden'. I built 3 raised beds in this area and planted Iris in all three. I added some Lilies along the 4 rail property fence after I removed and gave away a bunch of TB white Iris similar to Immortality. I have moved my sitting area in front of Dizzy's Garden which is still an ongoing project.
This the place where the 3 raised beds were put. Dizzy is buried where you see the small dirt pile.
This is my sitting area in Dizzy's Garden that is not finished yet. I love sitting under this tree in the shade and reflecting on how lucky I am for everything that our Great Lord has blessed me with.
To be continued.
