We decided that the canna lilies and calla lilies didn't really work around the grave. We took them out and placed a larger rock in the center of the bed. I am going to put
Burgundy Glow ~Ajuga around the rock and we are going to put the solar fountain on top of the rock. We made some new beds and
catmint (aka catnip),
verbena and a
Texas Star Hibiscus have been added, and old favourites have been increased.
Here is the Ajuga and catmint waiting to be planted.
Weeding seems to be taking up a good bit of my time. I found a lovely shrub growing wild around the pond. I am going to clear off the brush around it and I want to try to root it so it can be placed in other locations in the garden.

Looks good! You have a lovely property.
It's lovely when everything starts to bloom again! You've got a lot of catmint - where's the 'nip?

Hi Charlie and MoMo, thank you for your kind words regarding our garden. Charlie would you believe catmint and catnip are the same thing and humans use it to make tea (Mommy was very confused for a long time cause Norman Winter calls it catmint but almost everybody else calls it catnip; she was very puzzled when she couldn't find catmint so she had to RESEARCH it), apparently it cures a whole bunch of things (us cats are pretty smart about herbs apparently).
