A Memorial Day tour of the gardens. This is the yellow and blue zone and contains my alltime favorite plant - Ladies of the Nile. They are ready to burst into bloom anyday.

This is a fully loaded snowball bush. It brings back fond memories of our play days in the snow.

Remote smore cooking area complete with seats for gnomes and other small creatures. Later in the season this area should be grown in and provide good hiding places for smore cookers.

The pink zone. Also some other random stuff in the rocks from seeds that fell from plants last season. That's the reason one should stop deadheading about three weeks before the first freeze. Surprises in the garden the next spring are magical to discover.

The red zone. There are 8 whiskey barrels in total in this area, four are planted in red shade plants and four are planted in red sun plants.

The wizard ball zone.

This is the garden area with the highest density of vegetation. Most of it came up voluntarily. The gargoyle is barely able to keep his wings above the foliage.
