Speaking of house projects...

Here are my summer projects for the yard...

This is off to the side of the yard. I think I am going to turn it into an herb garden. That's not such a big project, just some weeding and whatnot.


This is the overgrown and weedy bed next to the soon-to-be herb garden. It is very shady, making it more of a challenge. I have a feeling that most of the replacement stuff will have to get planted in the fall, but I can start ripping out the weeds and such this summer.


And this is in one of the beds next to the deck. Do you think it is a lily? Our other house had tons of lilies at the old house, but they were a lot bigger. But it sort of looks like one, no? I'm so clueless as to plant names.
