    Oh Lut, please tell your hubby that I think his garden is simply spectacular!!! Also, now that I have seen the "spring" garden - I MUST also see the summer and then fall version of this beautiful work of his
    Do you think that could be arranged as the seasons change??

    I love how he massively clusters like-colored tulips together and mixes in some other spring bulbs. The clusters bordered with grape hyacinth are also gorgeous!! There is a very pretty tulip with a dark lavender color I have never seen before - and speaking of herb lavender - I see that yours is blooming Mine is just budding out. Oh and the white bench among the flowers is a wonderful touch also. Do you ever sit there and read or work on a craft?? PLease pass all of this on to him, would you??

    Oh and would you let me know what he does with the tulip and daffodil foliage after the flowers have bloomed? Last year I tried rolling them down and securing with rubber bands to make way for the summer flowers - but never sure what is the best treatment. Thanks!!

    Wow! Your garden is grand. I wish I had a garden that looked that pretty. Your husband has every right to want to show it off. I'd be bragging if it were mine.

    Oh Lut, I wish you husband could have heard me say OOOO and AWWWW over each of your photos.

    What a spectacular display. As someone has already said........you can just see the love that has been put into this garden - and now you have Mother Nature's reward.

    Bernard should be very very proud............wish my own thumb was that "green"............

    Deasr Bernard,

    We will soon be putting in the garden at the completion of our outdoor project (or the "softscape" as they call a garden in SoCal..... )

    After seeing Your work how about a trip to California to design our softscape? I want one as lovely as yours....

    That is a spectacular garden, Bernard!
    Your Spring is well ahead of ours in New England.
    Thanks for showing us the results of your green thumb
