The Woodland flower bed is thriving!

This is my favorite flower bed, and I bet you can tell why. This is a before picture of the Woodland flower bed. The first flower bed that I cleaned up this year is the easiest, and it is in the shade. For the record, I am not a fan of heat or the blazing sun. However, it is also the playground for twin fawns, and I love watching them frolic. 

This bed is three years old, and the Hostas and Siberian Iris are faring really well. However, I have seen a couple leaves chewed off, and I am assuming it is the deer helping themselves to a free dinner. 

The bed is mulched in leaves which makes it easy to care for and attributes to the health of the bed. I also like the looks of decayed leaves as compared to color bark. I like the natural look. 

The bed is cleaned out and looking exactly as expected. Below are a few after pictures. 

I need to add more leaves to the front of the bed. Thankfully, there is plenty of leaves along the fence line. 

The blooms are just starting to burst open on this Siberian Iris.

The three carved morel mushrooms look awesome in the Woodland garden.

After cleaning out the bed this morning, I watered it this afternoon when it was shady.
