My garden has been in such transition this year and the weather nearly made it impossible to work in it. But, low and behold, it's finally looking good and I am pleased. I still have a fairly large spot to fill but will likely wait until next year. Much to my hubby's dismay, I had him yank out the spirea and did a little happy dance. I didn't even want to replant it somewhere else. Now, I just need to convince him to yank out the other 2. What was I thinking when I bought them? Here is a couple of pictures. Things are starting to get a little tired looking - it definately been a hard summer on them! Thanks for looking.
