Garden Update 4-27

So here are current photos of the garden...



three roses just leafing and the fruit trees looking better



Most of the garden in this shot

Three roses along the fence, dahlia tubers, daylilies in the boxes and 4 cucumber plants in the box closest (not that little box)

This one has 4 tomatoes, 3 cantaloupe, cosmos and a red verbena at the far end

The Fragrant Lavender Simplicity hedge roses are growing great, the single is a white rose and the climbers are orange & that one rose bush behind the arbor there is pink

The rest of the Fragrant rose hedge up the other side and the asian pear tree

This rose hedge is going to be so pretty! 

The pavers are going on both sides of the arbor bench, the square box has nasturtiums sprouting and eventually dahlias and daylilies coming up hopefully.

Clematis vines on both ends tallest is white and the far one is red, gladiolus and sweet peas coming up along the fence

The blue oak with shiny green new leaves and Larry just mowed the upper hill, it is drying out already.

I didn't want the boxes in rows and want the garden to be interesting and not look to planned out...so far so good.  We have a dwarf meyer lemon to plant and Larry is still waiting for his Loquat tree to come into the nursery, hopefully they'll get one in soon.  We may add a couple of more boxes or planting areas, there are thirty rose bushes...three are climbers and Larry is getting it all hooked up to the drip automatic system.  We are trying to figure out what kind of shade tree we want to plant in the open area between the shed and the house...researching so we don't end up with the tree from hell.  I really love silk trees but they are like weeds so no go...maybe a maple, maybe a dogwood....we'll see.  The last picture...the tree would go in the lower right corner...we think.  :)
