Milo, IA(Zone 5a)

Super. Very nice. Everything looks wonderful.

Ellabell, GA(Zone 8a)

Wow, that is amazing, and you are in zone 5. I bet traffic gets really slow past your house.

Chariton, IA(Zone 5b)

Sure looks great. You must work out there all the time cleaning up spent blooms and pinching things back.

Norwalk, IA(Zone 5b)

Always have cars driving by to see The "Jungle"..and yes I spend a lot of time cleaning up the old flowers and weeds. :-)

Kyle,
Its just wonderful and I can see why you have such pleasure growing plants. I have a postage stamp size front garden and a small back yard. The front is now my brug garden and the entire backyard needs redoing.
Weeds!!! My neighbour culitivates them in his back yard lawn, son mows them and the winds send the seeds into my gardens. I've given up and now plan to do the entire backyard in decking with potted plants. I'm getting much too old now to pull weeds daily from in between the paving bricks.

Mableton, GA(Zone 7b)

:D *gasp* That is beyond words...

Chariton, IA(Zone 5b)

Joyce, why go to the work if you are going to get married and move in the spring? Let someone else pull the weeds. LOL!!

Orlando, FL(Zone 9b)

I concur--gorgeous, Kyle!
