This is our little paradiese with the Greenhouses, fruit trees and all kinds of other ornamental shrubs and Trees.
Our home stands about 50m away, when I move all my plants, there is a lot of walking to do.
Our little paradiese
So peaceful and beautiful Monika.
You have a beautiful yard.
It looks like summer has finally come to your house.

Monika, looks very inviting...and I love your greenhouses!
gorgeous!!!
We finally finished it and its already full of Brugs.
At the moment, we have temperatures like summer. But it will be over in the next days.
This is part of our garden. The Brugmansia Allee is in front of the house. At the moment, the Rhodos and Azaleas are in full bloom.
You have such a beautiful place Monika. I would be exhausted taking care of all of it. We have three acres and it is all I can do to take care of all of it. Must say that even a bit of it is suffering from neglect this year.

Very nice yard....how about some pictures of the front where the Rhodos are....I haven't seen Rhodos since I lived in Europe...long time ago.
.......is covered knee high with snow and even higher snow piles. No chance to walk to the point from where the picture was made last year.
I love all these pictures from last year. :)
This is what dreams are made of. Can hardly wait for 4-5 more weeks, maybe no snow showing up by then, but can't count on that here.
Your picture is so beautiful. I don't know how you can do so much work and still be such a spring chick!!
Do you have help with mowing the lawn?
Monika, it's nice to revisit this photos, in a time when we need to see some color and brilliant blooms....
thanks for bringing them back up
Dear hubby is mowing the lawn. He needs a whole day to do it because we have only a small lawn mower (and the garden too large). But this way, he is getting enough exercise LOL!
Monika, tell me Frank`s birthday....
this poor guy...I will bring him two large white birds which will help him to cut the lawn. They dont eat Brugs, I know.
You are too late......
Do you want to help a half starved fox? He was yesterday ar the feeding place for the birds, eating their food, right in front of the kitchen window.
oh poor fox..........feed him please Monika. he must be desperate to eat birdseed. i wonder if he would eat dogfood? and your DH mows the snow? LOL
We fed boiled rice, mixed with cat food but he wasnt here last night.Frank brought it just back into the GH to have it thaw up because it is solid frozen (-17°C) last night.
We will feed him as we feed and care for every hurt or sick animal with one exception: the racoons. The forest ranger takes care of them.
oh good Monika.....I can't stand to see an animal in trouble. Your cold must be hard on the wild life. Poor babies!
Monika, You have a very lovely yard. I am sure envious of all your growing space. I have a small yard that is just crammed full of plants of all sorts. Each year I take some plants out to make room for new ones. My neighbors think I am crazy for always changing plants, but I love to experience all of them.

Your yard must be like a jungle; I love to walk or sit under the green roof top of trees and between bushes.
I just want to bring spring memories back! Right now, its covered with snow and ice!

Beautiful big yard, Monika.
Wish we could either go back to last spring or jump ahead to this one. I'm tired of winter.
was feelin kinna :( for the fox, course im sure he would rather have had birds for food then food for birds :S -17 is some serious cold. glad you feed the foxes :)
You poor snowbirds. My neighbor has his iris blooming!
We have freezing rain/snow mixed this a.m. Spring can't be far behind?
Snow on ground, DH is watching a hawk, thought he was getting our redbirds, but he's getting field mice down in back.
That pic sure is a pretty sight Monika!
Arrghhhhhh.......Monika, I thought this thread was gonna be "This is my yard this morning". Very nice, tho, even if it is last spring. Gives us something to look forward to.
LOL Anna! I didnt want to dissappoint you! I just tried to remember that warm feeling of sunrays on my skin! It didnt work!
I have had some irises blooming as well. Crazy year. What I hate about them blooming now though is that they probably won't bloom in the Spring when everything else is looking good. Also, my dormant daylilies are coming back out, as well as a few other things. The problem with this is the weatherman said on the news last night that in about a week we will be back down in the twenties. I just hate it when that happens, because then it takes things twice as long to come out in the Spring.
Monika, your yard looks so beautiful and peaceful.

My neighbor has his iris blooming now also. I took this last night!
Thanks for the winter pick me up--I'm getting cabin fever--great yard!!!
Wow Kell, it's hard to believe that Iris are blooming anywhere right now. Nothing here in Tennessee today but gloomy weather.
The only thing growing in my yard is the hight of the snow banks.......
...and Ice blooms in my garden CC! LOL
Last night it was 23º and all of us at work were standing out on the loading dock oogling over how nice it was. You know it's been a bad winter when 23º feels warm!
I know what you mean Poppysue. I think we are down on snow but it has been sooooo cold and grey.
Monika ... when my yard grows up and hope it looks half as nice as yours. What a beautiful place.
brrrr PoppySue, better you than me!
When I look at this picture of Monika's garden I do not know why, but that old commercial pops into my head, Calgon take me away!
