My garden

This is a picture of my front garden in mid-June. I planted all perennials here in hopes that they will return each year and save me some work. My mom helped me pick out a good assortment of plants and flowers. I already had the Hostas but I also added Columbine, Dianthus (Frosty Fire and Clavelina), Saliva, Creeping Phlox, and a Hen and Chick plant. So far everything is growing really well. I have a bird feeder in the center of the garden and seeds are frequently dropped and begin to spot by one of the Phlox. I try to weed as much as I can around the Phlox but it is looking trembled on. Probably because a chipmunk and squirrel love to get to the fallen seeds and go by way of the Phlox. Erik and I also planted a tree in out front yard and the smaller birds have taken to flying back and forth from the feeder to the tree. It's fun to have some much activity in the front yard. Erik and I love to watch the birds, chipmunks, bunnies and squirrels "play" around. It's one of our many forms of entertainment!
