You do have a wonderful garden.

Thanks Bernieh, this garden is my life...lol. Good thing Hubby is a big boy and can take care of himself...hehehe....

I'm not sure mine would agree with this logic - I do though.

fantastic garden FL

A great garden. It looks very lush and green. Have you had lots of rain??

15 Jun, 2009

 

Bernieh, myhubby dosn't agree with half the things that come out my mouth.....lol. Nothing new there....:-)
Thanks Irish, still not as green as your Irish homeland though, but I'm willing to settle with what I've got....lol
Yes Paul, we've gotten more rain this year than any year I've seen since I started gardening 15 years ago, and I'm really getting spoiled by it too, no waterhoses to contend with....,hurray for that...!!!

Yes, it's nice especially if it comes in the evening like we had here yesterday.It means that the gardens will still keep growing but I can still work in the daytime.( I look after other people's gardens)

I'm so jealous Paul...., it sounds like a dream job ;-).

You must have a huge garden, it looks peaceful & gorgeous. I feel like you, my garden is my escape. The world can close in & all I do is go out & be in my garden & peace is around you. Really nice garden. Way bigger than mine.

Thanks Doon, there's just nothing out there that I've found, so far anyway, that calms me like gardening. Even old flowers I've had for what seems like forever, still bring a smile to my face when they start to bloom ! This is my little slice of heaven of earth...lol

I know, it keeps my feet on the ground, no joke, it grounds me like nothing else. I get up in the morning, take a walk around, check all my lovelies. then I can face this gorgeous old world again. if anything goes astray with one of them I stress & assist, & before U know they respond.
Really your garden I can see is just so healthy, happy & fab.

it's great! it just gets better and better. Like the new bed...won't be long til you won't have any grassy spaces left!

24 Jun, 2009

 

That's my plan anyway...hehehe..., just don't tell my husband...!

24 Jun, 2009

 

You know.... a very peaceful feeling comes from your garden Jerrie.....maybe all the tall trees as a backdrop...very lovely!...:o)

9 Jul, 2009

 

Thanks for the wonderful compliment Janey ! That means alot to me.
I'm hoping this new little bed I made last year will triple in size over the next couple of years, so all I have left of the grass is a five foot grassy walkway winding around and through my flowerbeds. Fingers are crossed that my back holds out that long...:-)

9 Jul, 2009

 

Oh most definitely....I've been feeling poorly with my back the last three days...started in to re-shingle the roof of my garden shed...and my back has been giving me grief since...so protect your back...and tell Roger than it will protect his back in the future...less lawn to mow!

Sure hope you are on the mend Lori. We just don't realize how much we take our backs for granted until it starts hurting ! Have you tryed the new pain patch called Fletctor Patch (diclofenac epolamine topical patch). You'll have to get a doctor's prescription to get them. My sister-in-law says they're the best thing on the market.

12 Jul, 2009

 

Thanks for that Flcrazy....will have to see about one! I've been eating ibuprofen...

12 Jul, 2009

 

That really works well too if your stomach can stand to take 800mg at a time so that the medicine can also help shrink the swelling of the muscles, while it's helping block the pain.

12 Jul, 2009

 

My husband takes an 800 mg ibuprofen every morning so that his back and knee will last throughout the day.

this is a beautiful picture

Thanks Daylily, it won't be long before it's looking like this again this year, I can't wait...;-)

8 Apr, 2010

 

Such a stunning garden, looks like a little bit of heaven.

7 Jul, 2010

 

Thanks Susie, glad you like it . I'm afraid it's not fairing as well this year with record high temps this year.

8 Jul, 2010

 

Lovely garden! So green! You don't get green like that in Australia worse luck

8 Jul, 2010

 

Thanks Pip c !. This year we don't have green like that either. We've been hit with record high temps and drought this summer. Glad I have this photo to remember how my garden can look when the conditions are more suitable...:-).

8 Jul, 2010

 

Hello FLC, I was thinking the other day that I'd not seen you around lately. Your garden is as beautiful as ever. I hope you're well

8 Jul, 2010

 

Great to hear from you Dawnsaunt ! I hope all is well across the pond. I hope you have had a wonderful gardening season so far this year.
I've been doing alot of remodeling to the house this year, and I'm beginning to think I'm crazy for taking on so many projects at one time...lol. I hope I live through it all so I can actually sit back and enjoy the fruits of my labor....;-).

8 Jul, 2010

 

Hi Flcrazy, we did the same 2 years ago so this year our project is the garden, trying to get it into some shape and order :^)

9 Jul, 2010

 

Remodelling can really start to wear on you once you get into all the intrique details,can't it Daylily... I just hope I still feel like it was worth all the stress and headaches when it's finished...lol

9 Jul, 2010

 

Hi Flc, you sound a busy girl. We drift from house projects to garden projects, keeps us all fit I guess. I'm sure it will be well worth it in the end.

9 Jul, 2010

 

Oh yes, definitely very stressful, one of the most, but definitely worth it when its all done X :^)

10 Jul, 2010

 

Agreed ;o)

11 Jul, 2010

 

Thanks for the moral boost ! I really needed it...:-)

12 Jul, 2010

 

Oh girl! are you still at it? we're having a very warm spell up here too. Take care in the heat...don't over exert. I'm still trying to get to the "finish" line! boring boring boring....

15 Jul, 2010

 

Hey Girlfriend ! Yes, I'm still at it...lol. I think you and I are stuck in a nightmarish limbo....lol. Luckily I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Hope you are too ! It all has to end soon or I'm going to end up being addicted to xanax...;-)

Lordy! Lordy!~
