July 2014:
We haven't posted any pictures from around the house recently, and I have a specific request for some. So here are some pictures of the Snaps on our deck. This is one of two containers with them; the other looks just about identical. Next to the flowers is a hot pepper plant.
Our shade garden is doing well. Here is a picture from earlier this year (May 12th).
And here is a picture from July 11, 2014.
The large flowering plant on the left of the picture was supposed to be a Doll's Eye, but was mislabeled. It is actually an Actaea racemosa. It's a great plant, except it is a bit too tall for where it is. No matter, since it is spreading soon enough I will have some closer to the tree as well. And I might transplant one to the other side of the tree to balance out the garden a bit.
