@Venezia , I wouldn't plant for Mr. Groundhog either. I know your issue. I am having it out with a beaver at the lake. After taking Alberta Spruce (after hardwood trees) he started dining on my Nesting spruce which I will replace with s9mething too prickly to chew lol! S

Beautiful. I complain on what I thought was a lot to do but nothing like yours at all.
Enjoy and it is lovely.

Beautiful garden. You have a lot of property. We only have about 1/2 acre I think. Every year the leaf cleanup is massive even for that amount. I do wish I had acreage though.

Just lovely, LM! @Lilysmom1
We have a super nice crape called "Acoma", developed by the Nat'l Arboretum here (Egolf and probably Dirr can't remember for certain). It is in the picture beyond the volunteer redbud. A little bird knew what Dh's favorite tree is and planted it there for us. Beyond that is a native persimmon. The crape has pristine white flowers late summer and is a reliable re-bloomer. Peeling bark. All around nice crape myrtle.
And here is great hummingbird food and astoninshing garden color:
Salvia guaranitica "black and blue". In front of that is blue pacific juniper, native sedum and columbine. My garden is decidedly "shaggy" and natural.
My boy sends his love:

@Sweetbay magnolia , what a lovely shape. It must be lovely in flower. I would like to see that.
Blue is one of my favorited colours in the garden. The salvia is so pretty.
Sending hugs for your handsome boy! S

@Lilysmom1, Just so lovely! Planning, work, and lots of love when into all your gorgeous garden paradise. Your elevated sunroom reminds me so much of what we have. A view is even better when it is elevated.
I know how deep the pain is losing an animal companion you so love. When our kitty, also a Lily passed, we were devastated. Never again, we thought. Too old. But our kids offered to take a pet we adopted if we couldn’t care for the pet. We adopted our kitty, already named “Winston.” He looks so much like a Maine Coon, as Lily was. We have had him for a year now. A love bug and gives kisses. He makes us laugh every day. I am sending you hugs and a kiss from Winston. All my best.

I love seeing pictures of Lily. You will always be Lilysmom to me.
