Thank you Daylily, Karen, Michaella, Klahanie, Kathy, Sheila, Sandra, Angie, Andrew, Meadowland, Neena, Fran and Mark ...
Angie ... I mowed the front lawns ... my dogs mowed the back garden ... job sharing ;o)

Hello Junna ..
thank you :o) x

Beautiful, l love how you framed the photo with the shrubs x

Thanks Pam
I'm pleased you like the pic :o) x

Definitely a winner for me this month. Artistic. Congratulation, Terra, to your style. Can you make sometimes a blog with details? It may be inspiring for many of us.

Perfect Terra....:>)

Hi Kat ... Thank you for your kind words !

This blog link is of my front garden three years ago ..

There are pics of my front garden on lots of my past blogs, but I'll try to make another with current photos some time soon.

Thanks Wylie and Moti :o)

Some pictures just say 'jigsaw puzzle' to me and this would make a beautiful one, TT. Lots of interest and colour, brilliant :)

Wonderful TT.... :))

Thanks Gattina, Gee and Holly ... :o)
Gee ... maybe start the jigsaw with the orange pieces ?!

Hi Jent .. I'm glad you like the garden colours.

Hadn't thought of it before, but it would make a great jigsaw - and so much more vibrant and attractive than some of those "wahsed-out cotage garden" ones I've seen!

Lol ... and a special large-piece version of the jigsaw for those of us who struggle with their eyes !

lol do they do them in Braille????

But I'd go for a carpet-sized puzzle with teh same number of pieces, which would make each playing card size, at least!

What a beautiful picture of a spring garden.
My daffs & primroses etc are going over now - (they go so quickly!!) - & it's all beginning to look dull again!!

As always, wonderful. What a treat for anyone passing:-)

Thanks Shirlwhirl ...
Springtime is a lovely season, isn't it !

Hi ba...
thanks for your kind comment .. :o)

Thank you Denise, and 106900.

how long did it take you to acheive this look, TT? I mean, how many years have you been working on it?

Hi again Fran ...
This type of garden can be achieved in 2 or 3 years ..
I've just put a blog on GoY with more garden photos which might be of use to you. I hope that helps.

oh, thanks! dashing right there

it looks like a long-term project - but I suppose how much work one does in those 2 or 3 years!

Fantastic.I love the Berberis darwinii ? Everything seems to be loaded with bloom this year as tho' it was all the wet we had in the winter, or perhaps it was just the lack of frost? Even the wild Celandines seem to have bigger flowers.

Thank you, Feverfew ...
Yes, this springtime, some plants have put on an extra special show !

Just lovely TT!

Hi Migra ..
Thanks... I hope all's well with you :o)

Its gorgeous love the way you have twined the little lilac / purple flowers around the edge of your lawn.

Thanks 3d ...
that's aubrieta ... one of my favourites, if planted selectively, into a design.

I thought it was but I could nt spell it, lol it does look great especially with your different colours of it.

Thank you :o)

I hadn't even realy noticed the purply flowers, they harmonise so beautfiully and lead the eye so naturally. You are an artist, TT

Thanks Fran ... but I let mother nature take the credit ..
she does it much better than I could ever imagine :o)

lol the wisest artists know when to stop and let the *real* expert take over! people like me have still to learn that, always adding a bit more here, a bit more there ...

I've just noticed that the purply flowers, from this angle, form a question mark as they follow the cure of lawn and path. very quizzical"

Lol. .... Through the keyhole ..

'Who would live in a home like this' ? ;o)

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!

Conker and Truffles and Crocus of course and not forgetting the little Robin.

Well done 3d ...
You win the prize for guessing correctly !
:o))) x

Thank you Terratoonie I hope the prize is to continue seeing fun pictures of Conker Truffles and Crocus also the little Robin in your wonderful gardens. :-)

Definitely :o) x

:o))) good.

Hi Terratoonie

This is absolutely spectacular ...... "Very colourful and cosy design". A wonderful array of colour and textures. I bet you look forward to spring each year. You must get many hours of pleasure, from your hard work.

Regards, Alan.

Hi Alan ....
thank you for your kind comments ..
I love springtime ... my favourite season ...
the flowers and blossom are such a joy.

Terra.

Wow! Stunning! X

Amazing picture so beautiful ;0)

Thanks Pita .. Nice to hear from you. x

Hi Carole.. pleased you like this :o)

Wow that is some front garden TT.....stunning:-D

Lol I asked TT how big her front garden was, and she said "medium" - think I'd have to scale her plantngs down quite a bit to fit into mine!

Hi Dotty, Fran and Homebird ..
Thank you for such lovely comments :o)

Stunning......wonderful orange really sets things off with a fizz.

Thanks Dorjac ... super comment :o)))

Terra, excuse me, if I am repeating the question once more. I wonder, what sort of flowers are those blue and violet carpets along the flower bed? Are they all Aubrietas?

Hi Kat ... yes ... all the purple shades near the edges are various aubrieta plants :o)

Thank you. I am just making plan for a new flower bed :-)

Bit late (2016) to say beautifully floriferous!

Hi Siris... thank you :o)
