Lovely
I must say, I'm very pleased about the loveliness of my backyard this year. I have a little more work to do to get all the ivy under control, a yearly chore, and I would like to help the grass grow where it should but the overall feeling is lovely. I wanted to have my breakfast out on the deck this a.m. but we had a wonderful rain last night and early into the morning that has left the deck a little wet. So, I ate on the front porch. Pleasant as well. My backyard reamins in heavy shade for a good part of the day. It is like a private haven with many large trees, sandstone patio, wood deck and curvy layered beds of ivy and myrtle. The temperature is always a bit lower on the deck and patio due to the materials they are made of and mostly due to the thick shade. I don't have a big choice of what to grow in these areas, but the impatients I usually select always seem very happy to brighten up the area.
