summer_jackelI am really enjoying my garden right now; it's so lush and green, and really pleasant to spend time in. I added a lot of manure, mulch and topsoil this winter, and it has responded by exploding with green this spring. The fuchsias haven't started to bloom yet, but I'm starting to see the first buds---so here are shots to record my shade garden in high spring, before the summer changes start to happen.
View from the side of the house; the yule tree, a cork bark fir, is apparently happy here, since it has a bunch of new growth on it.
Water garden and Coba.
Cat Buddha's area.
A new gingko tree and the nettles I planted last year. Now that my pups are a bit older, I want to start planting some things on the deck again. I'm thinking that planting nettles will train them to keep their noses out of my garden boxes.
View from the kennel area, facing the chicken coop.

Water garden! It is inhabited by five pond comets and two little mosquito fish I liberated from the pond up the hill. They were all hiding from my shadow when I took this picture, though.
My favorite Japanese maple, a neat dark red one.
