Show us your yard!! PART 2

You know what I like about thsi thread? (Aside from getting to see everyone's fabulous yards, of course) I am getting SO many ideas for combination plantings from seeing what y'all have done and been successful with. I just wish I could do a "cut and paste" from all the goodies posted here that would work for me and make it all just appear like magic FULLY GROWN in MY yard! :-D

But since the real world doesn't work on computer commands, at least I'm filling my head with pictures of what it *might* be like.

Thanks for the inspiration, everyone.

well this is an old thread brought back..it was fun to read it again and see all the wonderful gardens.
My gazebo..with clematis in bloom this year.

How beautiful! Thanks for the pix!

Our pond-1200 gallon with Koi and goldfish. A water feature really adds serenity to your yard. We enjoy it.

Osteole,


I do not use 'hay' for mulch unless it has been well composted.

Hay is basically dried grass and when it gets wet it heats up and gets moldy and slick and yukkie .............

then you will know why you should use 'straw ' for mulch instead.

Straw is just dried stems of wheat ,oats or barley grain that his long stopped growing before it is harvested.

A good straw should be bright yellowish, loose and easy to scatter.

If it is hard to break up the flakes it has been baled wet and molded. You can still use it but it is just not as pretty.

Cheers ;-[)

Your yards are so beautiful! I have a serious case of "green envy."

I am NOT going to post a picture of my yard in this thread. All I have are "before" pictures.
