Some successes!

well that is coming on lovely. like the carpet of hostas at the lady's feet. next year you'll be thinking what do I take out now everything has grown so well?

confidence grows just like a happy plant. :o)

thanks, Seaburngirl..sometimes, as i look at all the lovely established gardens both on Goy, and in this retirement park, i feel terribly inadequate and not up to the job of making a lovely, interesting garden out of this tiny spot, but when i remember what it looked like 3 yrs. ago, just one big ant hill and two overgrown bushes, not to mention the dreadful half-dead pine trees along the side, i realize i've accomplished a lot...onwards and upwards!!!

Nice garden love the statue and your plant selection is great, going to be quite special as it grows around her.

thanks, Scotsmanvic...i'm pleased you like her and her plants..she always makes me happy..thanks for posting..

It all looks very nice.

I love your statue she looks very nice among your plants.

I love it Pat, it all looks so lush and healthy, the Statue looks really well against the Trellis and a great selection of plants too;0)

thanks, Paulspatch, Callie1914, and Panyspotter..i appreciate all your kind comments, glad you like my little lady...

The hostas around the statue are so pretty, Pat, and I live the raised beds. It all looks lovely!

thanks, Ohmelchised...hostas are one of my favs., and i have a number of them..as for the raised beds, this is the first time i've had any, but since i had them built, i realize i wouldn't be able to garden without them..they make everything so easy...
