I took that photograph of the flower bed on the right side of my front door this past week.
This is sort of another teaser / preview. I've been clearing out the weeds / vines / etc. that took over my flower beds over the years. It's a lot of work, and I'm not done yet. But one of my new goals is to make 2020 "the year I regained control of the flower beds."
That small plant by the crescent moon garden stake is a light pink flowered Fern-leaf Bleeding Heart. They don't get as big as Old Fashioned Bleeding Hearts, but they have flowers from Spring until the Fall. I tried to transplant the one in this photo, and ended up breaking it off at the root. I replanted it here anyway, with the root, with the hope that even if the plant itself dies, maybe the root will grow a new plant. Surprisingly, every day, the plant alternates from looking wilted and dead, to looking alive, so I can't tell if it will make it as is or not.
...it's nice to have St. Francis in the garden.
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted a StFrancis statue-I will for one-love the windchime too I have areas that I am watching to see if they are flowers or weeds-I think I will have lots of weeds to pull late summer and fall Happy Monday kathy
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have done a great job clearing out the weeds! St. Francis and the lantern look right at home in the flower bed. Hopefully the bleeding heart will grow from the roots.
ReplyDeleteSuch. A pretty flower bed. You’re inspiring me to get out and weed some areas in my yard
ReplyDeleteI love the sounds of chimes. The flower bed area is looking good, Anne.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day!
What a sweet spot! I love chimes in a garden, and the St. Francis is perfect :)
