This picture from April 2, last week, after a heavy rainfall we had. Taken in the morning. Later in the day the water had all seeped into the ground or had flowed from the channel at the lower end of the garden to areas below. Growing here we see grasses, heuchera, hellebore, sedums, lots other stuff. I use it like a nursery for struggling plants, such as the yellow twig dogwood in left of this picture. Next I need to fix up the drainage channels so that not only the vegetable area below gets watered, but the runoff from that will drain to my new shade raingarden, to be made from my now messy weed pile under the spirea. More on that soon, I hope.
