An Early July Backyard Shade Garden Walk in Green Bay, WI
by Gladys King
At last! Time to enjoy the fruits of our labor. It was a tough winter and spring here in NE Wisconsin but we made it through. Our plants are thriving in the cooler temperatures and plentiful rain showers. The gardens you see are 20 years in the making and are ever growing and changing...........UPDATE......Now, May 1, 2016 ........we are patiently waiting for spring to come (we are well below normal) . . .the plants are just beginning to show. The hostas are just nubs and the gardens are looking pretty barren!
