Today ’s photos are from Marsha Fogarty . She says,“I live in Normal , Illinois , in the key part of the res publica . I ’ve been in this 1948 house since 1995 , and gardening since 1985 . I ’m an architect by grooming , but I ’ve also worked in a greenhouse / garden center for two season , and ferment for a landscaper ( doing mostly garden sustentation ) for several age as a second chore .
“ I love flowering recurrent plants , especially the lily sort . I do most of the employment in the garden myself , though my husband is the groundskeeper , mop and edge and sometimes trimming shrubs , but we do n’t often fit on that last part . We lease a landscape declarer last yr to add some ledgestone steps , which led to some other reworking .
“ These photos are now “ before ” pictures , as we lost the big locust tree tree diagram in the middle of the chiliad in November . I ’m still waiting for the stump to be ground out , go for that fall out while the basis is still rooted . The tree was truly the heart and soul of the garden , regularise the wanton and moisture conditions , and even the condition of the bed . So it ’s all up for catch now .
“ I also take a large yew that I thought was out of musical scale , and I ’m regret that . I ’ve already rearrange some things , and we ’ll see what encounter in the total yr when the garden is in full sun . The front of the house is in mostly sun , so I have a large supply of flora to use . ”
Beautiful combo , and what a lovely wry streambed ! Wow , Marsha , that will be a huge fitting without the locust tree , but just intend of all the plants you could try now ! I ca n’t await to see what you do . Be certain to give us updates . Thanks for sharing !
