This is our garden outside the gate. Inside is our secret garden. And in back of the house is a third one. All are small but lovely--and only thanks to Phil
Those are beautiful pictures. I have no real desire to have a garden, but I would like to have some nice landscaping in our yard eventually. Right now though, it's just all about reclamation and weed control. Ugh. I wish I lived in a condo.
Very nice indeed, Patti & Phil. Very nice. Our daffodils are almost done, but the Wallflowers are blooming, as are the Rhododendrons, Azaleas, and the first Foxglove is just about to open.
"He is the squirrel; I am the sloth." I'm stealing that. Try as I might each year to become a skilled gardener Joe is much better at it. And this year he's turned garlic farmer at a community farm out in the 'burbs. I helped plant it all back in the fall. I dread being recruited to help tend to it.

Wow... Wish I had a green thumb like that.
Wow! Impressive. Sadly, I'm allergic to all that stuff.
Really nice.
Me, too. (to both Fleur and George)
Thanks.
A better hobby than blogging! That's a lovely little garden you have there.

I deserve and take no credit. He is the squirrel; I am the sloth.
Stunning flowers! I'd love to have Phil take charge of my flower beds.
Gorgeous!

Oh, those community farms. Phil would never do one because he only cares about flowers. And those he won't even pick.
