Backyard side garden...

I redid my backyard side garden 

the other day...

It had been a few years 

since it really got any close attention...

(Click on pictures to enlarge)

So,   first,  I edged the grass...

And concentrated on getting the weeds out...

I had planted some strawberries and the water was running off onto the walk instead of staying at the plants.  So I made a little terrace effect with the grey bricks and filled it in with some soil.  It works now and looks nice.  I then added some pine bark mulch to top it all off.  I love how it looks now.

Ahhhhh... gardening...  my passion,  my love!

Ferns...

On the East side of the house,
morning sun...

A close up view ...

There are two types of ferns here...

They grew on their own...

This is an example of 

one of Mother Nature's miracles...

I love it!  Don't you?

Dancing Butterflies...

My "Dancing Butterflies"  Peony is so pretty this year.

This is a very reliable plant... 

always blooms so prolific...

It is just so beautiful!

The blossoms are as big as my hand!

A great addition to any garden!

Look for it!
