The First Year on Twilight

Part 1

Here we are, going on one year here on Twilight.

I thought this would be a good place to document

some of the landscaping projects and plantings.

 Mulching was a big endeavor late this spring.

In the existing round bed (a medium sized magnolia once stood here, heavily

infested by scale) is now a small crescent stone wall and a Harry Lauder's Walking Stick.

It doesn't look particularly good right now, but the annuals are purpley!

A gift card from my brother's family bought

this nice little shrub, below the garage door window.

 I found these two sumacs last fall and thought
they would work great along the back garage wall.

There is a larger, existing hydrangea tree along the front of house, and we hope this one

outside the 3 season room will do well too. The 3 small, existing, lilacs bloomed well

in the spring, but they are looking a bit poorly now. Are their days numbered?
