Checkin' In

I just thought I'd check in, I haven't posted in quite a while. I am an avid gardener and I have to use every available bit of time that I have to work outside. So, that doesn't leave much time for other things. I am going to add some pics of my garden. This is my little pond with the water hyacinth blossoms.

This is the end of the front yard. There is a little stream under that bridge that you see on the right side of the pic. The stream connects to the pond.

The middle of the front border. Eventually, I will put some smaller bushes of some sort the rest of the way down the front of the house. (Or make these smaller.)

My project completed. There were 4 50 yr old yews in front of that window. They were 7! ft wide and halfway up in front of the window.

Work in progress......

Rudbeckias.....



Purple Cone Flowers.......


One side yard border, you can see my zucchini plants among the flowers.....

Another shot of the pond flowers:

If you look close you can see my tomato plants behind the Autuum Joy Sedum. There are also some Bell Peppers, Rosemary, Tarragon, Cilantro, Sage and Garlic Chives in there.

I love to garden and will show more in my next post. Love ya, Jean
