Welcome to my Garden – Part 3

In “Welcome to my Garden – Part 1,” you park and come through the front door. In part 2, you go out the deck to the Starlight lounge. By the time you get to part 3, you have been here before, so you B-line to the kitchen door in order to unload the cooler. This is the view of the right side of the house if you park at the garage.

O.K. I cropped that last photo. Back when I worked in manufacturing, also known as the Margaret years,  we were certified by an independent auditor to specific quality standards. He would never find problems, only opportunities for improvement. Well, this is a HUGE opportunity for improvement. This is the future water garden. I have more hard surfaces than I would like, and they all drain here, so I’m going to plant a water garden to hold and filter the run off. More about this as it develops.

A little way along the path are these cornflower aster (Stokesia). A lot of evergreen perennials don’t look very good in winter, but this one really stands up. Blooming in the spring, it multiplies fairly fast. I put 3 small plants out in spring of 2009, and I moved them the next spring. (I replaced them with a different variety of the same plant because I wanted something more blue and less purple, but even though its name is ‘Bluestone,’ it’s as purple as this one, so I’ve just decided to go with the purple flow.) Last summer, pieces of root left in the soil at the first location grew into 3 new plants. I moved them here along with divisions of the original plants. (I tried to be more careful about removing all the roots this time.) Counting the 8 small single divisions potted up and put in the nursery, in just 2 years, my 3 plants yielded 20.

Tip for dividing perennials: It is a lot easier to pull them apart, if you spend time removing as much soil as possible first.

This is the left side of the house. Not a lot to see now, but “before” makes “after” more impressive.

One last “before” photo, the view through the woods as you stand on the driveway. We are about to have major tree work done, and this will change dramatically. The tree work is necessary to meet one of the 2011 goals. I think my vegetable garden is not very productive, in large part, because it doesn’t get enough sun.
