Overview and pics from 5 March 06

Presently the are 8 "beds" or areas of interest that I have to tend. Below are current pics of some of those areas.

The pic above is of the main bed shown earlier (taken 5 March 06). Blossoming crocuses can be just discerned on the near side (or maybe not). Note scraggly lavandulas in the foreground.

This pic is of the bed surrounding the base of the Red Maple in the front yard. This bed is exclusively bulbous plants (taken 5 March 06).

This pic gives an overview of the front with both the main bed and the tree bed shown (taken 5 March 06)

In addition to the main and tree beds in the front, there is a small bed in the eastern part of the yard (taken 5 March 06).

On the eastern part of the back yard is a section of overgrown weeds under a rather forlorn crabapple (taken 5 March 06).

The rear of the yard is bordered on the east by daylilies. I naturalized 800 narcissus bulbs in the rear half of the back yard. They were "landscape" bulbs, and therefore will have only one blossom per bulb. In following years they will blossom more vigorously. There is a small raised bed in the middle of the photo (taken 5 March 06).
