May I show off my garden?

WOW!!!!!!! I bow to a master gardener! I have been trying to get clematis to look like that for years. Wow, wow, and more wow!

Your garden is sooo beautiful!

What a beautiful place for you and your cats. The blossoms are gorgeous.

Jen, you must have a green thumb! I have some work to be done in my yard, you want to come to Vermont for a couple of weeks and get me started? Wow, how impressive. Really. Such beauty is one yard. You do really nice things with plants and cats...my guess is that you are good at/with many things! Right?

More pictures of your cats would be nice too.

Jen, the garden is absolutely gorgeous! Not only are you the consummate kitty mom, but you've got a green thumb as well

It's obvious, living things love you! And like all good gardener's you know you don't have to have a huge plot to make a beautiful retreat! I love your use of vertical space! And the Clematis is stunning! Have you ever planted Autumn Clematis?? It has less spectacular flowers but it's fragrant, blooms much later (when most of the garden is finished) and it tolerates quiet a bit of shade! More pics...season by season!!

What a pretty garden! I want you to screen in the entire yard so the kitties can go outside and smell the flowers!!! Beautiful.

I went to a house in Florida and the lady had just that. The whole back yard, small wired, for birds and her dog. She did it so bugs wouldn't come in. Some day I will do this, but at another house.

Wow, that is beautiful ... like a little country cottage garden. Do the furkids go outside at all and play hide n seek?

Years ago (I was about 18) I visited my brother and his then (first) wife. They lived in one of the the row houses. I loved them. The only issue was parking was the pits!! My SIL had to drive around the block until someone finally moved their car. Then I'd stand in the spot and wait for her to come back. Is the parking STILL that bad??? But Philly is cool!!

I absolutely LOVE your garden. I wish I had a yard to plant flowers in. They seems to have a real calming effect. You can just sit out there, look at all the beautiful colors and let your mind wander.

Great job Jen!!

**AmberLee** · 07-06-2003, 02:02 PM

Wow! What a lovely, peaceful retreat you've made for your family and furkids. Well done!

Oh my gosh Jen!! Its beautiful - almost surreal!!

You sure have a green thumb...your plants look so happy and healthy. I bet its so nice to sit out there with a cup of coffee or tea and listen to the birds chirping.
