Tweet

tought since it is cold and snowing again it would be nice to talk garden a little and i was curious to see who like gardening too and would love to see pictures of fellow members gardens , whats your favorite plant or spot of your garden etc....

i confess i love gardening ( my second passion after halloween) and at this time of year i miss it alot .....it is truly food for my soul , so it is the time of year i order my plants and do my wish list of plants and projects too....my favorite plants are hostas and i have about 400 variety .

so here are a few pic of mine from 2008 wich was a CRAPPY summer with rain rain rain ...

this is a bed i finally completed this year or should i saw finally re arrange and enlarged a bit

That is just lovely. I have a big old brown thumb when it comes to gardening.

creepy crawler , gardening here is like halloween the budget always gets blown up LOL , but i am lucky as i have a good friend who as gardens ( lots and lots of it ) and she does that as a small retierment business selling hostas and plants so i always order with her or from her and she always let me have the cost prices like she as and we split the shipping expenses , so we are a small group of about 5 always ordering with her so it cuts the expenses alot ....

here are a few more

this is the pool side from spring blooms to summer full blooms , 7 years ago this was all grass , all the plant beds here me and my husband all do ourselves , their was nothing when we moved here 7 years ago not even grass in the front yard .

Absolutely stunning! I could spend all day looking at your beautiful gardens. I see some of my favorites in there. Daylilies, Moonbeam Coreopsis and Lady's Mantle. LOVE IT!

I would do more gardening but I have a small lot. But, I did do one big project last year that I'm kind of proud of. We had a dead spot on our side yard plus it was somewhat of a no man's land so we wanted to put something nice where the dead grass was and to somewhat mark that that weird strip of land was actually part of our house So this is what I did.

Before:



After:



That little strip of a garden at the bottom right corner is the beginning of one of the two raingardens I also built. It's filled with my favorite flower, Black-eyed Susans.

terra small lot ???? big enough for a gardener to have fun hehehe loks like you have a nice place

your little project is awsome , always nice to have a little peacefull place to sit and relax .

i am currently making a garden album in the forum i will had pictures there to share with all of you

Thanks That's where we have our glass of wine and hubby has his cigar. By the way, the little ornamental tree in the center of the circle is a new variety. It's a weeping redbud! I can't wait to see it mature. This is what it's supposed to look like when it's all grown up:




This is the parent tree. It was discovered growing under another tree. That's why it's extra bent over. The variety is called, 'Lavender Twist.'
