As requested, here are a few judicious wide shots of the front garden, of the areas that I've managed to clean up.

The orange flowers in those big pots are Tulipa 'Praestans Shogun.' Last fall when it became obvious that I wasn't going to get them in the ground, I grabbed the pots of used soil that held last summer's tomatoes and plunked them in. When they've finished flowering and the foliage has died back, I'll fish them out and finally plant them. I might do this again deliberately this fall, but I'll use smaller, prettier pots. They would have looked smashing in one of my Talavera pots, I think.

As they say, "Slow and steady wins the race." I'm making steady progress with my cleanup.
