I'm envious of some of you with your very neat beds, sometimes wood-lined. We're just
tucking iris into available carved-out spaces. We've cut back into a big long-lived herb mound, with just a quarter of that devoted now to thyme, oregano, etc. As I mentioned recently, we've discovered sorrel invading one of the beds. Because of the long roots, we will probably have to dig up the entire bed, remove the sorrel, and re-plant the iris.
We also "lined-out" one of the crosses that was much bigger than other crosses made at the same time. I haven't given them a "hair-cut" and wonder if I should. To me they're so beautiful. We also need to do a lot to our funky, 30 year old country house. So much to do!
The hose coming down from the upper deck is connected to a rain barrel that also gets warmup water
from our shower. Every drop counts during the drought!

...and one more. Deck, pots, cat!

I was looking with envy on all the room you have for iris, then thought - interesting blue garden sculpture. You being artistic and all. Then I really looked and realized it is an upside down wheelbarrow.
