Come See My Garden

My yard gives me such pleasure!

It’s a retreat for me, it gives me visual delight,

it’s a place of wonder and curiosity.

My favorite color is pink! The pink flowers here are Lantana. The bottom picture shows them in a toolbox of my uncle’s who was a house painter.

 

Many of these plants were moved multiple times and they really like it here!

Pink Martha Washington geraniums give the most bang for your buck! Bottom left shows Limelight Hydrangea with Black Lace bush behind it. Of course, Black-eyed Susans always complete a garden.

 

In the last four years they have grown, multiplied, intermingled, and I love it!

I LOVE hydrangeas!! These are all from the Limelight and I’m drying them. I also LOVE anything galvanized. Can you tell?

 

I realize I am quite fortunate.

My yard is awesome, my flowers grow like crazy, and it’s a feast for my eyes.

That crazy green leafy vine hanging from the red headboard is a Sweet Potato Vine. Beside it is a Sedum of some kind. It goes crazy too! Below is the sweet little memorial for my sister, the garden stone was given to me by a friend. The broken crock made a great planter.

 

I also realize that most of this is not my doing but that of God’s blessing.

And I am deeply thankful.

Baby finches abound right now! They are everywhere, learning to fly and chattering constantly. They are a thirsty lot. Those bright flowers on the bottom are zinnias! I never knew until this year that they came in a short, shrub-like version.

 

Thanks for taking a little tour of my front yard gardens.

I hate to see them go, but soon frost will come.

Oh well, it’s always fun to see everything come up in the spring.

What about you?

Do any of you love growing things?

Tell me about your gardens!

 

Until next time,

Big hugs, Passionista Mimi
