Zone 3, Chinook winds, a short season & cool summer nights can be tough on a gardener's heart. Here is the photographic evidence.

Heading to LA today so I ran out to the garden centre this morning to sort out the tall pot I have at the front door.
It’s always a bit of a challenge to find the part shade plants in a colour palette I want. This year it’s all about white and yellow.

The other find of the day was black mulch! I am calling it Goth Mulch and its amazing. The new shrub is a Snowmound Spirea.

We finally chose a tree to replace our old Hawthorn. It’s an Autumn Brilliance Serviceberry ie Saskatoon Tree and has everything we love. Springtime white blossoms for me, Saskatoon berries for us and red fall colour for the boy. Win, win, win!
