Welcome!
Did you ever feel like you've lost control of your garden? That's exactly how I feel this year. Between all the rainy then dry, hot weather we've had my gardens are overrun with weeds. So instead of dealing with them, I put in a new garden!
I worked on the new area over the weekend. I moved some Red Hot Poker Lilies, pink and orange Phlox, Gay Feather, Siberian Iris and Double Cone Flowers. Then I purchased a few more plants. I really want this border to be colorful!

I went to an Estate Sale and found this awesome, wrought iron porch railing and just had to have it! I was about 45 minutes from home so we had to force it into my car. I left it just like I bought it.

I decided it would make a great backdrop to my garden. There were 3 pieces and they were a perfect fit!

I moved my new Autumn Clematis to the center to spread along the 'fence'. I love it! The best 15 dollars I've spent in a long time! I can't wait until next year to see everything in bloom!

There are a few other things blooming in the gardens besides weeds. The Turtlehead is just opening in the middle garden.

You can certainly see how it got it's name.

The Meadow Rue is about the only thing bloomin' in the shade garden but there is still a lot of color from the foliage. The plant gets quite tall but the pretty lavender blooms are tiny.

This double Holly Hock is really amazing! It's only about 4 feet tall and keeps on bloomin' like crazy!

It's had several blooms already and you can see there are still lots of buds.
