Now and Then...

With the ever changing weather on the Salish Sea side of Vancouver Island it gets me thinking of now and then...


Now


Now and a day before - Working on fence and flower bed, removed old posts, filled gaps with yellow cedar slabs and tagged old fence to new posts. Now ready to finish rails and slabs. 

Used landscape fabric (20 year) and filled space with blue crush, should control the weeds from next door. Took a few loads of good soil from the garden, will spread seaweed in that area to make more soil.


A corner from one of the docks I salvaged boards for fence from, it will be yard art. A fellow came along as I was trying to load it and gave me a hand, really appreciated that.  A Deer next door.


Summer Thoughts - I planted a lot of Garlic this fall. Is it to soon for seed catalogues ?


Leaving you with summer thoughts - Gay Feather, Scabiosa and Coreopsis, a large Hibiscus and a Dahlia.
 What helps you deal with the winter season?
Do you use vitamin D3? It's my Sunshine.

Rhododendron and Garlic

Yesterday was a day of gardening and a start on moving a few of many plants...

Lots of weeding as well as spring blossoms.
Planted more garlic in my new garlic bed.

Got a good start on my strawberry beds but more work to do.
Looking through the Tayberries.

This is the first rhododendron I planted.
Settled in to its new home, planted and watered.
Next up is the larger rhododendron.
This one is much heavier, used a soft rope.

Done. Watered. This  one will really shine in this bed.
An early one just getting started.
