    Some of my flowers from around my yard this year :) This is the second year the gardens have been in but the first year many of the plants have bloomed (i.e. day lilies, hydrangea). it is all getting better and already I'm anticipating next year to be BETTER than this year.

    Thank you all! Working on it. Everything is basically coming along. Did lots of planting last year and this year too. Lots of my plants haven't filled in yet but most everything I planted survived the winter and is doing well. Am figuring on LOTS more colour next year too :) :)

    Your yard blooms really are gorgeous, and that lavender....well, one can almost smell them. I am a special fan of the marguerite's. My favourite bouquet is made of them mixed with red carnations.

    Beautiful....I understand how you anticipate larger better plants every year...but sometimes and for reason we don't know about at times, the plant doesn't make it.. I am hoping the voles leave my gardens alone this winter so the people that are going to buy my home will see everything in bloom...
