Garden Panorama July 24, 2010



The dog days of summer are upon us. Despite the heat this week the new flowers are loving their new spot. Check out this panoramic view of the garden. Took only 10 bags of dark mulch to cover the new area on the left. Lesson for me today....It is sometimes the natural and little things that can bring us the greatest joy.

Transformation






Today my garden went from vision to reality. Amazing...we now have a beautiful garden surrounding our house. Check out the pics. Also showing some current shots of the beautiful flowers. This garden transformed while I was away at Summer Solstice. With total thanks to Michael for watering the plants!! They went from small plants to flourishing flowers. Let's see what does this mean...if you take care of your garden beautiful things show up!

July 4th, 2010

Summer time and the living is easy....unless you are passionate about your garden and there is work to be done. Gardening has become a new passion for me. I am pretty much a novice. However, I love being close to the earth, creating from seed or small plants an incredible array of colors surrounding our house. I love flowers...flowers blooming in the spring, summer and fall. Flowers are fabulous to have around the house. I am starting this blog so that I can track the progress of my ever changing garden. Hopefully I will find other like minded people who are into gardening for the long haul. It can be great to discover what we know and also find out what we don't know...and who knows discover what the garden can teach us.
