With the arrival of warmer weather last week, homeowners’ thoughts are turning to their gardens. Unfortunately, it may be too late to plant those perennials, according to this post from last year. It’s the perfect time to plant annuals however. We’ve been having trouble the last couple of years finding the right plants for the shady side of our garden. The smoke bush we planted last year, for example, did not exactly thrive in its original position, so we moved it to a sunnier spot last weekend. And good suggestions? If you’re looking for inspiration, check out these photos from last year’s garden tour.

  1. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a place/person who can help us dig up some concrete in our garden (we’ll probably do the gardening ourselves). We recently renovated our place & our garden is the last place that needs lots of help! Any help/info is greatly appreciated.

  2. 7:07, just wondering what to ask for when I call 311 to get an EMF/lead shield. I’d never actually thought about this until I saw your post but I also have a convergence of phone lines in my backyard.

    Many thanks!

  3. Gosh, 12:13, don’t you read the papers? I got one of those city-disbursed lead-and-plastic shields (EMFOut! ™) fixed outside my back window where the telephone/cable wires are attached. My handyman only charged me $395 to do the work, and, while it makes the kitchen a little darker, my wife and kids rest easy now. Call 311 asap.
