Transforming a Rundown House and Garden

Years of work have made a beautiful space

Today ’s photos come up from Janice Martinez in Southern Oregon , who has been function on transforming the space for the retiring six and a half years .

This photo is small , but I had to admit it because it is the “ before ” photo . you could see that Janice did n’t start with much !

And the “ after ” photo . What a translation !

Lots of knockout work went into work up the structure of the landscape …

… which ante up off big fourth dimension in a beautiful , flowery , final Cartesian product .

A spaciousseating areafor entertaining now fills the blank .

Tall foxgloves ( Digitalispurpurea , Zones 4–9 ) post up their spire of flowers . digitalis arebiennials , create a low-pitched rosette of leaves their first twelvemonth and then flowering , setting seed , and die in their second year . Sowing seedsevery year ensures a constant supply of flowers , and where they are glad , they will often ego - sow so that their blooms are a repeated feature even if the individual works only live two yr .

Delphiniums ( Delphiniumelatum , Zones 3–7 ) are best in climates with cool summers , so they can be hard to make happy in some part of the land . Where they expand , they are some of the most beautiful flowers you’re able to grow . Here the scenery behind them is beautiful as well !

Everything set up for a garden political party .

Nothing like getting all snip up for a garden party !
