Yard of the Month!!

I was Yard of the Month for May!
I thought I better get this picture before they removed the sign.  I am pleased to get it and feel like it really goes to Claire!  I met Claire  a  little more than a year ago after I seriously broke my foot.   She usually comes once a month now to help me out and catch me up on the weeding.  She really does the hard stuff and I play.
The right side of my sidewalk.  The Agapanthus are in bloom.  I have blue and white.
Claire is part of the reason I got the sign.  I suspect there is another.  Nice people call my garden "A Cottage Garden".   Some people call it a jungle.  I like the wild abandoned look. I don't want a groomed garden.  If there is dirt showing, I like to pop something that blooms in it.  Because of that philosophy and my ignorance of plant growth, my garden was overgrown with plants that no longer fit in it.

This spring, we dug up, moved and replanted.

They quickly gave me the award before my garden could grow too out of control for polite company!
