These are the Carefree Sunshine Yellow. Incredible fragrance!
I have planted the Double Red color and the Carefree Sunshine Yellow. I have probably 60 plants in Northern Virginia. I have been told that my yard is the showplace in my neighborhood. Other that water, occassional bug spray in early spring for ap…
I would love this if the shadow wasn't there and the metal fencing...but, must have rabbit challenges.
A very beautiful vignette
Hi Nina!
I LOVVVE photography. I had just received my forst SLR Nikon. I am enjoying it!
You take remarkable pictures. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah! Pretty it is! Over 34 inches of dense and wet, and over 77,000 tons to move!
The photos have been fun though!
Thank you!
Love having this small and pretty back yard!
It took over ten years to build!
You should check out my fair weather photo albums of it!
Too cute!!!

Gardener's Prayer
shafts of light brighten the darkness,
as the light of day once more graces this earth.
My heart feels deep gratitude
for this earth created by my use.
My thankful heart opens my senses,
and expands my awareness of all around me!
Look at the beautiful greenery!
The trees, shrubs, plants, even the weeds,
they're beautiful!
See the fruits & vegetables
produced by plants of this earth for my use.
The flavors, the textures, the colors!
The plants are nourished by this earth
just as I am.
They grow where they are planted,
and need water, sun and nourishment.
Just as I do as a human living on this earth.
But I have to work by the sweat of my brow
to provide a good environment for these plants to grow.
I am becoming like God.
I am a child of God,
having success thru my efforts
caring for my little patch of earth,
working by the sweat of my brow
all the days of my life tilling the earth.
As I work,
appreciation for my efforts,
and the blossoming earth around me
fills my heart with joy,
I pray as I work in my garden,
and then leaning on my hoe,
I see shafts of light illuminate the greenery,
as once more I feel the sun's warmth,
blessing my garden.

Hi all!
I moved to Northern Virginia 10 years ago from Maryland. Nothing but shale rock to put the roots into! Now I LOVE rock, but I prefer it above the ground. So disappointing to an enthusiastic gardener. I had to bring in hardscape to raise the beds and dump truck load after load of rich black topsoil later, we finally are getting somewhere! My raised beds will soon be filled with my squarefoot vegetable, herb, flower and berry gardens.
Despite all that shale rock my Double Red Knockout an… Continue

liz joseph said… - WOW, Lindsay, you take such beautiful pictures!!! I always try to capture the moment when a bee or butterfly lands on a flower I've grown, or when a squirrel or bunny stops by to rest under a tree in my yard. I hope that, someday, I'll have pictures of animals and nature to share as pretty as you do!!!!!

Janice Dugan z5/6 PA said… - Hi again Lindsay, I just had to tell you I LOVE your Duck picture. This is a photo that looks as if you can just walk right in a feel like you can touch the ducks.. Wildlife is something that is missed by many and not appreciated by alot of city folk. I was brought up in the country...now called urban and we could watch the turkeys, deer, phesants, Quail, snakes, and most other small animals. I have many older pictures of gulls in the "Walmart" parking lots in the Pittsburgh area. It is a site to see people feeding them in a parking lot that is nowhere near any water. The color in that picture is so vivid. Keep up the great work.

Theresa Brady said… - Hey there! I have enjoyed the pictures of your gardens. Though I am from Iowa, when my husband and I were first married we picked up our roots and moved to Middletown, Md. and lived in the area for 4 years before returning back to the midwest. Though we have been home for several years now, the eastcoast is where I caught the garden bug. There are so many beautiful plants, trees and flowers out there, and what I would do to be able to grow a dogwood out here! Keep up the good work!

Clare, your Pinky Winky is beautiful - love the blooms and the pink coloring of the branches too. My paniculatas Pee Gee and Limelight are already blooming too, about a month ahead of schedule! Now I am wondering whether I should have done reshaping…
i love this kitty pic!
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…
