This is very clever - it gives you the freedom of placement every year, too.

I wonder if any would make it in my unheated garage over a Michigan winter. We had 3 separate Polar vortex events over the winter - it was sub-zero temps for a couple of nights each time. I should check various zone tags the next time I'm at the nursery.

Both the Major Wheeler and Scentsation honeysuckle plants are pretty tough. I've struggled with clematis.

One of mine survived outside in a pot under the deck the winter we had a weekend of -10 temps with wind chills estimated at -35. They are typically rated for zones 4-8. The rule for perennials is to subtract 2 from your zone to determine if it can winter in a pot outdoors, I’m sure in your garage would be good. If it’s inside you may have to give it a small drink once or twice…I’m not sure.

My first dahlia grown from seed, can’t wait to see what it looks like. Hopefully some of the other seeds germinate. It’s only been a few days.

Wow - I can't wait till the day my Major Wheelers are this full! I have three plants about a foot or so apart, and each planted a year apart. They're getting heavier on top with a lot of buds so far - maybe this year they'll come together more.

Good luck with the dahlias! They usually do pretty well for you.

Wascally rabbits!

So cute when they're tiny. I've been watching this little one for about a week - only interested in the clover so far.

The hostas and ferns are out, and the crabapple is in full bloom.

I took advantage of the cooler weather yesterday and got the space ready for my next tree delivery. I wanted a native white flowering dogwood (Cornus florida) to grow opposite the pink one. This afternoon I’m going to finish this border and then cover with compost and mulch so I can plant some perennials in it next year. Some day I will finish adding beds and will fix the remaining grass but that won’t be any time soon!

It was a BOGO sale so I also got a river birch to provide some shade in front of the house but I’m not set yet on exactly where I want to put it. Think twice dig once!

The perennial garden in my side yard. I’ve sprinkled some potted dahlias in the empty spaces.

Better late than never, lol.
Some of the roses, knockout variety.



Red Hot Poker, although more orange than red.


One of the irises


The veg patch coming along. Actually, have harvested 8 or 9 head of broccoli.

The irises are blooming!

Couldn’t resist the gorgeous color of this lupine even though I’ve tried to grow them repeatedly and they never come back. I tucked it into my bunny proofed side garden. Fingers crossed
