The Rescue Garden

It is 9:00 in the morning on the 4th of July and I am out on our newly stained deck. It is 72 degrees, not a cloud in the sky and we are expecting it to get to 85 today. Once I open the first Leinie's it will be a perfect day in Wisconsin.
As I am sitting here blogging, I am being serenaded by a large bull frog in the pond and by all of the birds that surround us out in the woods.



But I digress, the reason that I am blogging this time is to update what the Rescue Garden is doing at this time.

The top pic is of a Hosta that I always wanted from Nana's garden. It grows to about 3 feet tall and about 3-4 feet wide. But this one was not rescued by me but started by itself 2 years ago. This is the first year for flowers.





The next pic is of the ground cover that we planted about 9-9 years ago and it has really spread out. It is called Lamium.


Last but not least is the Bain Berry plant. This was rescued from the woods and planted close to the garage. There are red and white Bain Berry plants. So this is the best year yet for the plant that I moved 2 years ago.
