Kathleen - I grew up in Port Orchard . . a looooong time ago :-)
Kathleen - I volunteer with the Nature Conservance in this neck of the woods. In the prairie management locations they use a tool similar to this (link). Great exercise :-) I had a few mature plants when I bought my place in 1995, and I pulled them…
Super looking!
Good morning everyone! I am planning my wedding! After looking at wonderful garden venues around here, I realized driving up my own drive why not have it in my garden. I know this sounds stressful, but not really. Half the front yard is ready and I…

Roasting today- working in the shade watering, potting up hostas and taking pics of some of the pets.
Well my septic guy came and said how old this thing? That sort of scared me. Everything worked out fine though. Haven't filled it back in yet, my 9 year old son is playing fort in the dirt over there.

upcoming wedding
Good morning everyone! I am planning my wedding! After looking at wonderful garden venues around here, I realized driving up my own drive why not have it in my garden. I know this sounds stressful, but not really. Half the front yard is ready and I know what I want to do with the rest. Just thinking about it.

chris shepardson said… - Love living in the country but wish there were sewers! Septic systems can be a headache...mine is about 28 years old and I wonder what is the life of a system? Thank you for the comments about my gardens, I kinda consider them as groupings of flowers and a bit of a hodge podge with plants "rescued" at seasons end got good prices..would like them to be more artistic and complimentary. I guess that is not a bad goal. I am in zone 5 near Albany NY, where are you from?

Linda Ross said… - Thanks Kathleen for liking my first photo. I have added new ones to my page. I hope you like these as well. I work very hard on my gardens and love the feel I get when I walk the property.

Janet Mills said… - Thank you, Kathleen! Everything I do in the garden is by trial and error, so I have learned the hard way, and I am still learning. And loving every minute of it!

Diane, sorry for not making my message more clear - my reminder was about those shrubs that need to be scaled down and in my region (zones 5 & 6) the buds for the next season form on new growth in August so cutting the brunches after July would have…
delegating thats an interesting idea. the onlyone to delegate to is hubby and i know what he will say.
Crazy rainstorm last night, ripped down half the ivy on the wall. Had to cut it down, so I figured what the heck I'll collect snails in my garden. Armed with chopsticks (they make it way easy to gather up tiny guys under plants if you are profficent…
Love this flower. Never was able to grow it though. Thought it was called queen Anns Lace. I think it adds charm to the garden.
thanks Bob
Sheryl, that shouldn't be a problem, I have a seed feeder in close proximity and the humming birds seem happy enough to share. They just seem to perch on the tiny twigs where the big guys cant get to. Chech the surronding territory, perhaps someone…
What housework-What cooking-I am delegating so that I can go out in my gardens.Besides my gardens I am on my computer watching the lovely new photos come up on "latest activity" HELP I am soo hooked. Don't want to change. Don't want to give it up ei…
Thanks! Isn't it funny I was plotting today hopw to get rid of them entirely? (Because they get a little weedy.) I'll leave them up, because I like them too.
Clare this is stunning! It's the entry to the Secret Garden!
