My yard will be judged on Monday so I have the weekend to make sure everything is looking great, however, this is my first gardening competition so not really sure what they will be looking for.
My driveway has two rock gardens on each side. The left is nothing but White Creeping flock.
The right side is filled with different kinds of flowers which consist of Giant Day lillies, star gazer lillies, Iris%26#039;s, tulips, Hyacinths, daffodils, purple corn flowers, yellow buttercups, White Peonies, looks like dragonflower but has blue flowers, (beautiful though) and mini deep pink daylillies. bottom has purple creeping flock, and throughout the rocks are chick pees. The taller flowers naturally are on the top and the smallest are on the bottom with the creeping flock draping over wall all around.
Vegetable garden in back. on both sides in the back mixture of 2 liliac trees, 2 dogwood trees, orange daylillies, carnations, bleeding hearts, yuccas, azalea, Viburnum,
Do you have any last minute Gardening tips for Contest?
It sounds beautiful! Spend the weekend deadheading and hydrating your garden, and make sure there is not a weed to be found, particularly coming up through your creeping phlox.
Good luck and let us know if you win!!!
Reply:To spruce up the left side of your drive you could place odd numbers of pots filled with annuals that mimic the perennials on the right. Also, you don%26#039;t mention a water feature of any kind....not even a bird bath. I would certainly have some type of water feature that makes noise, even a bubbler in a bird bath. People and creatures are naturally drawn to the sound of moving water. Good luck in the contest!
Reply:sounds like you have it looking beautiful already...and that you have all your bases covered. GOOD LUCK, and enjoy your day...let us all know how you do.....
Reply:Not really any last minute suggestions but stopping by to wish you the best of Luck on Monday! I%26#039;ll be rooting for you and sending some prayers for a wonderful day too!!
