First views of my garden at the first of April…. First views is the brainchild of Town Mouse, with the idea that wider views will give a better idea of what our gardens look like and a record of how they change throughout the year. Join in by visiting her post here!

I have been too tired to post! And that’s tired. I took a fulltime job at the hardware store in town that has a garden shop. They needed someone who was familiar with plants for our area, so the fit seems good.
The new view...as if we need more. But the woods needed brushing and we needed firewood so strategic trees came down to give us this new view of Shuteye Peak.

When my sister visited last October from new Zealand, we visited the local native plant nursery, Intermountain and picked out plants especially for this area. We planted Salvia, Dara’s Choice, Yellow monkeyflower, and two Pozo Cleaveland sages next to the existing Spice Bush. We planted Narcissus ‘Obdam’ next to the path in several spots. Planting with my sister makes this area even more special to me.
