Meanwhile at the back end...

The backyard garden is coming along nicely...

purple coneflowers, goldenrod (Solidago canadensis), and black eyed susans among forsythia ('Northern Gold'), burning bush (Euonymus alatus) and rose of sharon (Hibiscus syriacus), as well as an unidentified tall shrub. A sugar maple sapling already @ 8ft tall has got me thinking that I might want to move it before it becomes a problem. The backdrop is very large honeysuckle hedge...


these tall coreopsis (Coreopsis tripteris) are nestled in between two Diabolo Ninebarks (Physocarpus opulifolius 'Monlo'), but they are not getting enough sun - I will move them next spring, and replace them with more Diabolos moved from the front garden...
