ART me in the Garden.........Soon come

Since I promised new pictures of the garden, I took a moment yesterday to wander around and check on progress.  It looks like it's going to be a race as to who blooms first.....will it be the foxgloves, peonies or clematis.  I also have two roses showing some color and lots of of iris as well......the anticipation may well get the best of me!

This is an adirondack chair that I rescued from the road to provide a frame for my Jude the Obscure rose and Anemones- it also has Foxgloves, Creeping Jenny and Iris's to keep it company. 

I think I'll only have to wait another month or so for my Hydrangeas- it's worse than waiting for Christmas EVER was!

Here is phase one of our dry creek- I took the picture standing on what will eventually be the bridge once I get the other half dug.  We ran out of rocks..........oh and we're waiting for rain to check low spots before we finish the "bed" with sand and pebbles- but you can at least get the idea of what it will look like.....

This head of Diana was the first piece of sculpture I ever bought- well actually the second, I had to buy her TWICE as the first one got stolen from our garden.  I like to hope it was a prank, but I've had other pieces of garden art stolen as well.  Now she "lives" well away from the street.

Peony nestled in with my Cinco de Mayo rose- oh I can't wait!

Jackmanni Clematis getting ready to do her thing.....

This is one of six heirloom tomatoes we planted last week- it's called a Mortgage Lifter- I've heard that it's the best tomato you'll ever taste!  We also have started seeds for squash, beans, chard, cukes, watermelon and japelenos.....again; I CAN'T wait!

So, that's what's up in the garden, I think the next time I take pictures there will be a LOT more color to share!

Cheers and Happy Friday!
