Every year I come up with goals for the different parts of the garden...<br />currently we are trying to 'tame' our bamboo, redoing the paths that lead through the Japanese-style garden, naturalizing a pond, possibly replacing an old shed, etc., etc. <br />Enjoy the beauty of your gardens!<br />Blessings, Aimee<br />PS: Yep, constantly dealing with impatience here too:)aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255823818961459112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-74938295617617242702013-05-22T10:00:19.542-07:002013-05-22T10:00:19.542-07:00Your garden looks lovely Lorrie.

It would look so much better and I could add more soil plants to make it look prettier. Having cut down a lot of trees this spring has opened up the yard to new ideas with trees or shrubs but we haven't even looked yet. And the possibility of putting in a large shed will eliminate one sad flower bed but who knows when that will happen. I am impatient indeed! I planted sunflower seeds and should have marked them with small rocks like you did. Great idea! But, it's raining again so it will have to wait.

Unlike you - I want the invasive, the fast growing. They fill up spots and I love the wild look of that type of garden - and gardening is less stressful and not so much waiting for things to fill in. Love your photos - it is a very pretty garden.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-60846881250914024642013-05-22T06:44:23.867-07:002013-05-22T06:44:23.867-07:00Isn't it strange how some of the most lovely a...Isn't it strange how some of the most lovely and sweet-smelling plants are so invasive? How I'd love to have a bed of Lily of the Valley, yet it is a horrid thing taking over the world in short order. Or Lupines...so lovely...so invasive. Sigh. Your garden looks glorious and I know that it will be where you want it one day with continued perseverance. I'm delighted that I don't care as much as you do, though. =D And I'm already weary of the raised bed that John worked so hard to create for me last year and secretly I wish that it were gone so I didn't have to think about it. Some days, I am easily overwhelmed.
