The Garden is Open

Ohhh!! What a gorgeous garden. :)

Does Edwina help? ;) :D

Sara, your garden looks beautiful and like the fountain a lot!:)

Beautiful garden!!!
I'm still waiting for the lanscapers to come and do my yard!!!
Yours looks absolutely gorgeous, I really love the fountain!!
Thanks so much for sharing the pictures!!

What a timely topic! I just came inside from lots of planting and putting down mulch. Everything was pretty much delayed this year due to EXCESSIVE RAIN! Grr! I had peonies at my first house and forgot how beautiful they are. I am thinking I will definitely have to be putting some in. No wonder Edwina enjoys the outdoors so much and Shirley has chosen your yard as her own. By the way, have you seen any of the "little Shirleys" yet?

Sara, you have the most peaceful garden. :) It must be so relaxing to sit out there with a good book.

We are now in winter - the last of the roses at work were deadheaded yesterday so there is nothing colourful outside. At least in a few weeks I can go searching for magnolias in the neighbourhood (my favourites!)

Crystal, we are planning a herb and vege garden for our new house, can't wait :)

You will love it. It is extreemly rewarding....

Happy Gardening!

Regards, Crystal

How strange! I don't mean the flowers, they are lovely. My peonies have long since lost their bloom. In fact, I cut their heads off two weeks ago...I hate the nasty brown leaves falling on my nasty brown lawn. While I love peonies, I hate the ants, and how after a rain, they get so bogged down.

ES- your garden is especially lovely.
