My birthday present from hubby

Grapeland, TX

This corner bed is my birthday present from hubby. I have daylilies, salvias, pentas, zinnas, butterfly bush, coneflowers and a few other things. Definitely a work in progress.

How beautiful! I love seeing pictures and getting new ideas. Great mix of flowers and doo-dads! I love decorative garden doo-dads! Did he make the birdhouses? Adorable!

Grapeland, TX

thank you all! I will be sure to take pics as it develops. he didn't make the birdhouses, but, he has made many in the past. we have only been in our new house a little over 2 years and we left the other ones at our other place. he makes great rustic birdhouses and feeders. he doesn't have a shop set up here yet...hopefully soon!

thank y'all! yes....he is a keeper for sure :0)

Ah, but do you loan him out for yard work.lol

Grapeland, TX

that man doesn't have time to do all that has to be done,lol. he has a demanding full time job managing a local chemical plant...he pastors a small, country baptist church and he is a paw paw to 3 boys. I have a list a mile long of things that we need to get done for our place and he keeps saying "I can do it" when I say something about hiring the jobs out.. He does love to work with his hands outside.

Awe, that makes what he built, that much more special!

Grapeland, TX

yes it does!

That is just flat beautiful ..My planting always look like Johny appleseed on meth came by and flung seed every where ..Good thing I grow a lot of stuff with big leaves helps hide my bad judgement

HA HA HA. love your description. most often, mine ends up looking like that too,lol. but, you know what they say...every now and then even a blind hog finds an acorn, so every now and then my plantings happen to look somewhat good!

Grits that is just too funny!! About the way I feel about mine too. I was on another thread earlier and described mine like a roller coaster effect; but you really captured the description.

Be sure to tell your husband to add this little endeavor to one of his sermons as an illustration on showing love to your wife!
