POETRY If you have any suggestions, E-MAIL ME	We are headed into the final stretch of the 2002 Garden Tour as we leave the back of the yard and head east towards the house again. [ABOVE] Along the south side of the pool, we have our well established garden of alternating groups of white daises and lemon daylilies. A new addition to this garden are two clematis - one light blue and one darker purple - just starting to climb the pool fence. [ABOVE] Over in the far northeast corner of the yard, by the pool shed, is a small garden along the fence that has been unlucky for rosebushes, groundcovers and tulip and hyacinth bulbs we have tried there. This year we are trying a mixture of orange and lemon daylilies. [RIGHT] Against the back wall of the house we have started a white 'nelly moser' clematis to help break up the large expanse of brick. It seems to be taking its time growing and we may have to look into either replacing it or adding another or two on additional trellises to make this more 'showy.' [ABOVE] We must stop at the Patio garden to admire the pink coneflower, coreopsis, lemon daylillies and artemesia as well as the blue campanula, purple asters and coral bells which are hidden in this view. [ABOVE] Finally, we return across the patio and head back to the south gate where this tour started. We have reworked this garden under the bedroom windows keeping the larger holly and japanese yew evergreens while adding a selection of perennials. [ABOVE] Along the back are helen's flower, white phostigia, and pink lithrum. The middle row is made up of yellow columbine, purple veronica, red-white columbine, and pink phostigia. The front row contains bluebells, Cranesbill geranium and white campanula. Lamb's ears will quickly fill in to form a nice edging for this bed. And that's the tour for June 2002. I hope you enjoyed it and I hope this gives you a good sense of how our gardens are 'shaping up!" UPDATE: Please notice the recent additions for July (the Patio garden including many new ictures in our plant chowcase, updated and more colourfull pictures of the South Pool Garden and Pool Shed Garden and the wonderfully comfortable new Muskoka chairs to help us enjoy our gardens. I will continue to add aditional pictures to this tour and to the plant showcase to illustrate each plant at is best and the gardens at different times of the year. Please check back occasionally to see what has been added to the tour! And as for me ... for now, I'm going to sit with my feet up in the shade and enjoy the beauty of the gardens and the music of the birds that have made their summer home here.
