before and afters

Here is Matthew wearing his sweater.

This is the yellow primula I planted last year, it will be blooming for the first time here.
This is the pulmonaria also planted last year, and below is this year's photo of it. At first I thought it was a weed and almost pulled it out. Can't believe it's the same plant, the leaves are so much smaller and it looks so different. The spotted leaves gave it away. Wonder how this happened?



My husband has been wanting to raise the level of this flower bed for years and finally had the opportunity yesterday. The sticks in the middle are an old rose bush that gives us huge pink fragrant roses. Cosmos are going in there, with a few annuals in front for color until the cosmos bloom.
