One photo of my New Garden:

My garden bridge needed painting.
This is after the base coat.

The troughs blocking the pathway usually sit on the bridge.

That is a really pretty bridge and the paint job looks terrific.

Love it! I am so jealous of your space. I have so many places in my yard that hostas just can't grow because of root competition from trees. It really annoys me!

That was the reason I went to troughs. And a side benefit the voles can't get to them.

While doing some weeding yesterday I noticed my Fall azaleas are starting up. This one is in a garden with a lot of plants from the Striptease family - I was noticing the darn chipmunks are burrowing under them and I need to put them in baskets or the voles will be right behind and destroy them - another project.

I love your new garden bed! All of your garden is wonderful.

Nice Ed. I have a whole new section I can plant with hostas but it has been so dry, I don't know if I can keep them watered. We are on water rations. Can you believe that for the 'wet' side of Washington?

Some photos from today. I've been cleaning the garden for a small party tonight - my daughter and her friends.
More Autumn Azaleas are showing up and a couple of odd fern seedlings. I was taking "portrait" photos of some of Art Wrede's plants to send to the hostaunderground web site. I started to weed my front flower bed - no hosta but a lot of hardy orchids and phlox and things that shouldn't be there - then I ran into poison ivy and stopped. It takes a while to get that junk out and not catch it.

aequinoctiiantha coming into flower. The one flower head to the left is from Smokey further to the left. That's a Miss Linda Smith between them.

The final flowers of Aomori Setting Sun.

I didn't know this was in flower and then I saw the pot was nearly falling out of the tree.

Almost coming into flower. This is my second one. My first and biggest looks horrible - too much sun.

Some of Art Wrede's seedlings with the designation #102 but many different looks.
The small dark green on the left has a frosted look to it. The two big ones in the trough I have shown before in a "flower" topic viewtopic.php?f=1&t=57978.
(The right side of that trough has a Lady in Red in it - not showing scapes the way the #102s in the trough are.)

Some of Art Wrede's plants. Fine Art on the left and Otter Point on the right. The one in the middle is the Miss Angie seedling I named Miss Shamim. I was trying to get some comparison photos.

Last page.

Some odd fern seedlings are showing up.
I think the first one looks like Cinnamon Stick Fern. I thought I had gotten rid of this many years ago for being too aggressive and invasive.
