In the Back Corner

What was once home to gnarly trees, surrounded by a nest of lily of the valley, is now a corner bed filled with plants that grow bigger every day.

Wild and weedy in early spring
Mowed down and freshly planted in early summer
Today's view!
The cool spring temperatures and regular rain (hear the storm coming through now?) have certainly helped my success as a gardener-in-training. I haven't killed much of anything yet, and every time I go out for a round of the yard and see something flower, I burst in to a full scale musical number complete with singing cartoon birds and dancing squirrels. I mean, really, why doesn't everyone garden?

Name that plant! The new corner bed includes Glow Girl spirea, Abracadabra Star hydrangea, Black Lace elderberry, three Incrediball hydrangeas, Chardonnay Pearls deutzia, All That Glows viburnum, Let's Dance Diva! hydrangea, and Vanilla Spice summersweet. Oh, and a mystery perennial with an already lost tag.
