Here’s my post for this month’s Garden Bloggers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Design Workshop – Front-Yard Gardens<\/a><\/p>\n

Front-yard garden in June.
\n\"front<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve got big problems with my front-yard garden.<\/strong> Oh, it’s actually not all that bad. The path leads to the front door. There are lots of interesting plants along the way — some small that cause you to pause and bend over, others that release fragrances as you brush by them. And it’s not as wild as some of my plantings.<\/p>\n

The big problem is no one uses the path to the front door<\/strong> except for the occasional deliveryman who’s new on the route. We’ve had packages sit for days between the front doors, unnoticed.<\/p>\n

Those doors open directly into the living room. No mud room. No entryway. You come in that door and you are standing next to the sofa. That just doesn’t work in this climate. During winter, you can’t even get to the unshoveled walk because the Christmas lights block the gap in the fence you’d have to walk through to follow the path.<\/p>\n

Despite the fact that no one uses the front walk, I maintain the illusion that this is the way into the house. The proverbial Bible salesmen knock out front, giving away their lack of familiarity with the daily patterns of life in Ellis Hollow. But anyone who knows us goes right to the back door to be greated by Jade and Fred.<\/p>\n

Clematis and hosta flowers on the way to the front door in August.
