The "Oasis" in April

 

Andrew and I created "The Oasis" last summer when we wanted a shady place to hang out in out yard. We hauled away the trash, leveled it and put down indoor-outdoor carpet. This is what it's like this spring. 

The clematis that we got on clearance in the fall has buds.

The Oxalis, Bleeding Hearts and Hastas that I got from dad last year are doing well as are the ferns. Those are the Hastas coming up there.
