Zachary's catalpa tree is doing very well now. We weren't sure it was going to survive at first. We have 2 catalpa trees in our back yard. One has been in the garden for a few years. The other one, which we were given at the same time as the bigger one, was left in a pot for someone else to have. When they didn't take it after a year, we decided to put this dead looking twig in the ground & see what happens. Amazingly, it started to grow & we transplanted it when it was about 18" high to where it is now about 2 yrs ago. The result you can see at the right. It is already providing us with some great shade!





This is Brianna's rose bush. None of the buds have opened yet but the bush is loaded with them. I think we will have blooms in a day or two.











Although Sarah's rose bush is also a pink colour, it isn't quite the same shade. There aren't as many buds on this bush, but there are a couple that have opened already & they are beautiful.




This lovely mini rose bush is in Paige's honour. I was so pleased to see how well it is doing this spring. It is loaded with buds & a lot have opened already. A gorgeous addition to the garden. Red is my favourite colour. Of course I just HAD to have some red in my garden lol







Chloe's rose bush was the last one planted. I love how it brightens up the garden with it's sunny yellow colour.
