My garden is saying I made a mistake. My story is I started with a blank slate. The house was owned by the original owners they had aged and the home became to big for them and the children sold it as is....... A Blank slate of 4 acres I was ready to have lots of fun.
I am learning that rich soil, lack of tree roots and the amount of rain we have had the last 2 years make plants grow at warp speed. I was use to planting and nothing really getting big for 8 yrs.
I am not a new gardener but I have gardened in shade and tree roots for 30 yrs. I never had much sun at my other property. I feel like a new gardener.
Because I had Hostas at my old house I started with the shade garden.
Before
Hostas garden first year
After.....I did not add any plants they never grew this big or this fast at my old house. My new area is fertile soil because the area was years of leaf mold.
I have added some hardscape but I have to do some dividing and space the plants out. They are fighting each other for space.
I will post later my front. Another big mistake of over crowding.
It is a wonderful sight.
