Honestly, it's a work in progress, but it's also an endless job! I always want more color and lushness, so I doubt I'll ever truly be finished with this yard. That said, wait until you see what we're doing in the "lower level" where there was once a large space of lawn... :)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-86232945887471699332012-07-15T13:15:54.265-07:002012-07-15T13:15:54.265-07:00Oh, I'd love to see your garden photos.

The day lilies usually finish blooming by early July (or maybe that's just this year!), so I'd like a bit more color and tiger lilies seem to do well here. I just need to remember what I need to add this fall. Better make a list! :)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-12626784167958706752012-07-15T13:14:05.496-07:002012-07-15T13:14:05.496-07:00Thanks, Staci!

I used to have some gorgeous star gazer lilies, but the rabbits got to them a few years ago and while I get a couple of long stems, they never bloom. :(Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-79390904572170588212012-07-12T19:32:44.820-07:002012-07-12T19:32:44.820-07:00Oh, I don't know.

By mid-July, they're starting to look pretty tired (and hot!). I need to add more fall-blooming perennials (mums?) so I can extend the bursts of color. But thanks for the confidence-booster! :)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-82247618637079340062012-07-12T19:31:01.574-07:002012-07-12T19:31:01.574-07:00Lobelia is an annual here.

It blooms quite profusely and once it starts to slow down, I give it a shear and it almost always blooms again for several more weeks. It comes in either this dark blue (almost a purple hue) or a pale blue. I like both. :)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-70129889090790302312012-07-12T19:27:58.344-07:002012-07-12T19:27:58.344-07:00Thanks, Kathy.
