Here in this location on the south slope leading down to the pool garden is my early daffodil beds. In the full sun, the daffodils beds get warmed early in the season and provide me with the flowers I need for the early shows. Garden seven is unique in that it contains the pond and the wood lot, and is situated against the west and south fence corners, south of the early daffodil beds of garden number six. This area was once thick brush, brambles, green brier and wild unproductive roses. It now has the underbrush cleaned out, smoothed and the pond re-dug and deepened to allow for fish to survive.
Fish help keep down the population of mosquitos.
The small wooded area will provide the shade needed, and a future gazebo. Above the pond and toward our house is my early daffodil bed. It's on the slope down from the home site, and receives full sunshine. The pond area is the future home of my cyclamenious daffodils, as they like it a little more damp than most. The last garden is number eight - The main daffodil garden and the meadow beyond.
