Yesterday I began working on the bog garden. Frustrating would be the best way to describe it. In an earlier post I mentioned my thoughts of having a “bog within a bog” to keep an area free of spreading plants. This would leave access for the butterflies to get water. I was not happy with that idea at all when I started working on it.

I did manage to install the main container portion of the bog. When I had the inner container installed, it did not look right. It was removed. I’m pretty certain that even when plants were added, I would not have liked it.

Right now I have some new thoughts on completing this project. Today may be the day it all falls into place. I’ll keep you posted.

Just remember, everyone can have an outdoor project that may not go as planned. That’s when we take a break and decide how to make things work the way we want them to. We can’t let our frustrations overtake us. It happens to all of us, myself included.

I’ll see you in the backyard!
