Plan your yard construction now

by

Have you ever thought of building a pond in your garden? I say building when most would say creating. In reality I suppose it’s a bit of both isn’t it?

We’ve always wanted to have a small pond but our yard is so small, and now so full of garden beds that we really don’t have any room to put one in. I guess that will have to wait for our next house.

This is a good time of year to start planning things like ponds, patios and pergolas. Especially if you were thinking about it in the fall and happened to have taken a few measurements of your yard.

Read books and websites about whichever project you might be planning- pond, patio or pergola, and be ready to begin in early spring so that construction will be completed quickly. If you are able to do that it won’t disturb your garden planting season that much and your plants in the new area that you’ve created won’t be too far behind.

There’s nothing worse than landscaping in the middle of summer, in the heat and possible drought conditions and expecting new plants that you’ve planted in your new area to thrive without a lot of work.

Is anyone planning any new items in their garden this year? New garden beds? Or a pond, patio or pergola as I’ve been discussing?

This weeks Theme is Antique

This rose goes perfectly with this weeks Photo Hunter theme doesn’t it? I mean it’s name is Antique’89 – what could be better?

This is a rose that I wrote about several times last year. It finally grew this past year. I think if I hadn’t battled it and shaped it as I described in a post called “War of the Roses” it would have been 20 feet tall and hanging over patio table making it extremely dangerous to sit at the table. This rose is a monster. It’s thorns are huge and catch on your clothes and skin so easily.

If this rose grows this year like it did last year I think I’m going to have to move it to it’s own area away from the seating area. It’s a wicked rose.
