It's not very impressive since the plants have a lot of growing to do. Everything is about the same height right now but later some plants will be taller than others. I planted a bunch of annuals to provide color and fill up space while the perennials are still small. As I find pretty outdoor decorations those will be added.Four butterflies visited the garden while I was outside. Here is a little brown one among the impatiens.
Here's one of my gardening helpers viewing a large butterfly.
And a better picture of the butterfly.
Since the last post I have been practicing with Jizo with sitting practice versus pitching practice. That's a bit more appropriate...
Since this is turning into a photo blog, here is a photo of my indoor Jizo statue, in case anyone is interested. The statue stands before an antique fireplace screen which I think makes Jizo, who is most often portrayed as very simple in dress and appearance, look really fancy!

Your garden and jizo look beautiful!
Congratulations on the garden--what a beautiful beginning (and so much hard word). It's nice to start seeing the fruits of labor, I'm sure. And I love the kitty, he or she looks almost exactly like one of mine.
I agree-what an impressive background for little jizo.
I meant "hard work" and fruits of "your labor." I should really learn to proofread more!
I love your indoor Jizo statue (and his fancy background). We have one in our memory garden, too. We plan on moving him indoors when winter comes.
Also, I adore the idea of a superhero whose weapon of choice is a Jizo head. But I'm sorry yours broke off in transit. When something like that happens to me, I think, "Of COURSE it did!"
