Tight-rolled jeans with rolled-down socks.
Also, aforementioned backwards clothes - even trained my Grandma to reply “jump, jump?” 😁

That’s awesome! Good idea keeping mosquitoes away - I’m a friggen mosquito-magnet and get a new bite almost every time I go outside (and most of the lawn is kept tidy, but we don’t clean up all the long grass in the “lily garden” - yet)

Very nice! They bounced back well! What else is in there with them? The bigger bushy leaves look kinda like geranium to me, but it’s just a guess
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s great that you got to keep the original plan, once the trees got a little bigger!

But it’s really quite amazing how well hostas do, when given shade. We have so many (in the back) that aren’t even the same as any of the other hostas in our back yard!

We had a similar (but reversed) situation - had a giant oak in the front yard when we bought the house. We put hostas in the shade - our front yard was full shade, so they did really well.

A couple of years later, our oak got sick and full shade turned into part shade. Then we had to take it down, so the already stressed and crispy hostas - which had already stopped doing well - seem to be barely present in the front.

We don’t have as many hostas in the front anymore.

😅

Ya know, I think those are actually all volunteers - I think we also had only seen variegated, except for this one kind that are giant and blue.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thank you, though! We also are loving how little grass can grow between/beneath them!

Thank you!
My spouse floated an idea that would double the size of this flower bed.
🥰
I’m all about that! I wanna split and scramble some of the colors around, now that I know what it all looks like!🤞

I’m sure they would have been great ~

Sorry to hear that your deer are jerks (and those beetles! Man - those guys suck!)

Like the Santa maggot guy

I kinda like the idea of it being Santa instead of Satan 😁

Currently rewatching these

PAX - before there was PAX Prime or PAX East.

Oh that’s even cooler than decorative grass! The whole bed looks great, man. The scatter planting will be fun, too! Now I know that I like lupins 😁 thanks!

I’m gonna have to do some splitting and replanting this fall, too. The flowers did much better than expected after just one year - lol

Those look soo delicious! How many plants do you have? That’s a good haul!

Fantastic! Those are going to have so many beautiful flowers!

That braided decorative grass is cool - way cooler than the regular grass that comes up in my flowerbeds! 😁

But what is that short purple and white guy between the grasses, almost dead-center? 'Cause it looks nice too, but it’s hidden away! Lol

This is what my family (and a few friends) use. We have been using it for a while now because it just works. Also, the kids have never complained about using Conversations, or about using it only for us (like if you have that one family member who won’t leave SMS behind - we’re that guy, I guess), and we can make as many channels as we need for the house, the kids, with each kid individually, for our MTG cards, with our couple of friends that use it, etc…

I don’t personally do the hosting, so I can’t speak to that. That’s the hubby’s thing
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Looks like those scattered seeds are coming up pretty well. The raised bed looks great, too!

It’s always nervous waiting for stuff to come back, it’s like did I kill it with fall care, did winter kill them, etc.

For real! I feel like I messed up my columbine somehow, but I don’t know what I did - or didn’t do! (Possibly related to dead heading, but I don’t know!)

Good to see that it bounced back so well!

Oh, gorgeous! Coming in quite nicely! So many beautiful future-flowers 😍

Thank you!
