Our local garden center is changing ownership and is selling off all their stock at a big discount. Except for the fact that it's been scorching hot here recently, the timing couldn't have been better. Prior to our renovations, we ripped out the landscaping around the front of our house to make way for the construction and the new decks/trellises. And things have been looking pretty incomplete outside ever since -- until now. Many of the things we bought are still sitting in pots (and requiring daily watering!), but it already looks much more welcoming seeing the beginnings of some landscaping out there.
This tiny turtle turned up when I was preparing a new bed near our mazel tov tree for some yellow baptisia and fiber optic grass to go into. The flowers and grasses are now in, but I'm still working on finishing the bed, which will be anchored on one end with a couple little juniper bushes that eventually will become decent-sized foundation plantings. Will post a picture when the whole thing is done.
he, (she???) is simply darling!
