Our Garden.....

Our garden, front and back yards, is absolutely gorgeous this year! We have worked so hard on it for several years, planting a lot of perennials, and it finally looks great. We have also planted some annuals and will continue to do so every year but it's really nice to have most everything just come up year after year! Here are some pictures...... I will try to name what ever I can, as for the spelling, forget it!.....

Honey Suckle and Hostas

Front yard...Hostas, Honey Suckle, Lamb's Ear, Pianese

Our pond that Bob installed a couple years ago, it is probably going to get a make over this year, it seems to be sinking! Not good! We have several gold fish in it that Joey has won at carnivals. He is really quite good at that game!

This is in the center of our front yard. This has been challenging over the years trying to figure out what works here and what doesn't. We decided to just plant all kinds of things and see how it turns out. I love the "wild look", not tailored or patterned, just all kinds of stuff. Don't ask what we have here, I'm not very good with the names!

Fox Glove. I love Fox Glove and have tried it in a few different areas here and this is the first time it has worked! We have two of them in the circle.

I can not remember what this is called but it came up beautifully this year and the butterflies and humming birds like it too!

A beautiful Iris!

We have a vegetable garden in the back yard. This year we're growing Green Beans, Lettuce, Spinach, Jalapenos, Green Onion, Roma Tomatoes, Cherry Tomatoes, Carrots, Cucumbers, along with Strawberry's, Watermelon, and several herbs.

It's not in the best shape right now! I should be pulling weeds, not blogging! But everything is coming up wonderfully. We can already pick some lettuce and have been picking the Strawberries as they turn red and freezing them so we can have some Strawberry Shortcake!

This is our wild garden in the backyard. There are Ferns, Hostas, Trillium, and Columbine growing here and everything comes up every year. I don't even bother pulling weeds here.

Columbine

And last but not least......my Gerber Daises......

Forsythia, Gerberia Daises and Hostas....in a corner of the backyard.

Oh...and I can't forget what Genesis has been working on.....

I believe it is Sunflowers. I guess it'll be a surprise if I'm wrong! It is planted in a yogurt container wrapped with old wall paper and stickers.

So this isn't everything but it's a good start! To be continued.......
