Yardwork

EDIT:  Oops, didn't realize Ada had posted her recent yardwork until after I posted this.

 

Here are some pictures of my recent yardwork.

This is the current look of my square foot garden. I added the trellis for the tomatoes and added the rabbit fencing. The local rabbits were starting to look at my garden as their personal smorgasbord. I had a very nice purple pepper forming and one morning it was totally gone.

 

The cherry tomato plant in the red pot has been in since early April but I now know it is a yellow tomato. I added a red cherry tomato to the garden because I think tomatoes are meant to be red. I just bought the yellow pot and replanted this rosemary. A neighbor has a large rosemary bush that anyone can come pick. I don't know a lot about herbs and didn't realize we had rosemary until I went to change out the planters shown below. I guess I'll learn what to do with rosemary. Feel free to add any suggestions in the comments!

 In the last couple of weeks we added the trellises. One has a clematis and the other a pink passion vine. I really like the metal wind device. We have so much wind and it's interesting to watch the blades turn in opposite directions.

 Over the weekend we added quite a few plants to add some color in the back. Most of the items were green, but I love the color of flowers. We put in a mixture of perennials and annuals--coneflower, yellow tickseed, zinnias, pentas, and salvia.

 This is the planter that had the rosemary shown above. I replaced the coconut planter liners and put in annuals.

 The front has 7 holly bushes and 6 other bushes. We took out 3 of the bushes and put in two hydrangea and a hibiscus to add color in the front. I'm sure the neighbors got a kick out of watching us early Monday morning when we hooked a toe strap to a bush and I pulled it out with my vehicle!

I have always loved yardwork and getting my hands in the dirt, but I'm realizing how therapeutic it is for me during this transition.
