Ontario Cottage Roundup - 2014

In less than a month we will be going to our Ontario cottage again and I have not even posted about what we saw there last year, other than a look at how I redid the garden on the lake!
Last year we had trees cut down that will allow more light to this garden.
The native Forget-me-nots & native Columbine blooming in this photo will be followed by hardy Geranium & Oriental Lilies in  summer.
When we were back in September I saw that the transplanted native Asters were doing well from the previous year's test and so I harvested and transplanted a couple of varieties from the side of the road.
 Admittedly it feels a bit odd raking the rocks sometimes, but it is well worth it to uncover the dry creek bed each spring.
The daylily/fern combination has recovered from the last time we saw them, freshly transplanted and looking rather bedraggled. I can be confident they will fill in as planned, a perfect no-maintenance solution, but unless our renters help by snapping some photos I will never know how well the daylilies bloom under there, if at all!
