Miles To Go...Before I Sit...

I found two red honeysuckle plants at Walmart this morning... I had the trellises so why not use them... They will make the walls less boring.

I put a plant on this side and a bird bath on the other side. 

All of the stuff that I am putting in is subject to change...
There's definitely going to have to be some sort of shade over the seating area...

I'm still trying to decide what is leaving and what is staying...
I like this side.  Lots of plants surrounding the honeysuckle.  And yes.  I checked.  The hose reaches this far... Just barely.

It was interesting trying to get the holes deep enough for the honeysuckles.  I got them about right and then piled lots of potting soil on top... It does work.  I have done it before.

Tessie came out and took one look.  She staggered to the back door... Whispering to herself, "I'm melting!!! I'm melting...

At last!  A place that Tessie doesn't want to own!
I am still not crazy about the length of the area... It's OK... But if I really don't like it... EVERYTHING is portable.  There are other areas in the yard that this would work...

We shall see.

Meanwhile, back to mini-ing.

See you tomorrow.

You can break up the visual size of the area by creating a visual break up of it into two rooms. For instance an arbor with an arched top and plants up the post. Don't divide it exactly in half. The main first area perhaps about 2/3rds of the length, then the visual break that stops your eye travel for it to rest. Then the intrigue of something new to journey to at the far end of the space. Maybe a small fountain at the far end with the sound of water and a change of colors.

Karin, I think that you and I must have taken some of the same art classes in college. I am not following those rules... Mine is going to be more spooky than inviting...
