Across the front of the side yard were some huge trees that were damaged by the past few years snow so I had them pulled out last year. I wanted to put in a type of cottage Garden. So little by little I would get plants I wanted and plant them. With our hot and dry summer this year I had to water which the plants loved but so did the weeds, they only grew where I watered. No matter how much you weed they still come back. But it is getting pretty--mostly perennials and shrubs and a couple Japanese Maples---so far. Next year I will hopefully finish my project. LOL
The pretty reddish flower is a Schizostylis also called Crimson Flag.Excellent Fall plant. It is evergreen and makes an excellent cut flower.(or cut the spikes)

lucky of you to have a wonderful garden and the halloween deco fits right there. Thanks for the visit, have a nice weekend.
That's a very beautiful space...but weeds are perennial!
Lois pulls most of the weeds in our yard...it really gets to her. The other day we went to a restaurant and she started pulling weeds in the flower bed outside the front door...I had to grab her and pull inside!
Yikes!
Weeds are like children, always in places you do not want them to be. It is a battle I lose each year. Great photos. Peace
