Getting this in place was several hours work as Allan had to drill the pieces of pipe that hold the braces in place, and get everything inserted in the right place. Then cord was run top and bottom and finally the netting was spread and attached to the cords with many pieces of garden Velcro. Do the driveway side and then repeat on the lawn side.

In the back yard there is grass growing where the raised bed used to sit!

One of the small rhododendrons in the back yard is starting to bloom. It will have several more blossoms than last year.

Here's a glimpse of part of our back yard forest. A Mason bee house and a bird house are on the post.

There is also a young big-leaf maple coming up from the stump of the large tree that was broken in a storm shortly after we moved here.

And in the front yard - the first rose of summer has appeared!

Some commercial colour has been added to the back flower bed.

The first allium isn't very big, but is trying hard.

The clematis by the side of the garage has started to bloom.

And next to it the Jacob's Coat rose has its first blossom. The colour will change as it ages.

Bracts have formed on the Japanese Dogwood in the front yard. They will probably turn pink.

We continue to be amazed that this Dusty Miller is a perennial here. It was an annual everywhere else we have lived.

The Hansa rose is starting to bloom. It's a messy bush but so far has been allowed to survive because it is covered in blossoms this time of year.
(22:05:2021)
The California poppies are already blooming too.
(22:05:2021)
New birdbath/deer waterer in the front yard. Made up of a new plant tray and the 20 some year old pot that the Japanese maple to the left had been in.
