This is a picture of my garden in May when I first planted some seedlings. It is truly amazing how fast the brugs grow. The second picture is after a day of much rain and I had to get a 2x4 to hold a big branch of the pink one up. The pink is another cross of Susie's and the yellow on the right is the first brug that I received from my Daddy who passed away 4 years ago.
Awesome. Do you think you could maybe ship that back yard to Iowa next spring??? Those paths and the whole layout are just gorgeous. The brugs are awesome too. They really do grow big in Texas. LOL!
You have the yard that I dream of!
Bonnie
What beautiful Brugs you have!
Ditto what Brugie & ladyblue62 said!!!
BrugNanny:
You have your own private paradise. It all looks so beautiful and serene. If I had your yard, I'd vacation there every evening! :-)
Beautiful, Frannie.
Frannie, does it keep you hopping to keep the leaves and spent blooms picked up? That is one nice thing about sitting pots out in the grass....I can rake things up. However, I do have to weed eat around them so I guess it would be an even trade off in a way.
beautiful!
Its just beautiful!
Question: where are the weeds?
Shirley, I have a little 6" rake that I go around the plants lightly with and I even rake the walkway lightly if there are lots of leaves. I really do not spend much time maintaining it, but you can probably use your weedeater around yours faster than I can do do my raking.
Thanks to all of you and your responses. It is on the decline now and today I did some cleaning and trimming. It was beautiful today . . 75 degrees and sunny and very low humidity.
Shirley you can't have the yard,cause if I get to Texas before you do,i'm bringing it back to S.C. with me!!!(LOL)
Amazing Frannie,you have a yard like I dream of.
Next year my goal is for my yard to look more like a garden and less like a garden center. Well done Frannie.
David, no fair. I know you will get there before me. LOL! I'm not sure my little truck would get much of it back here anyway. Maybe Jim and I should just go there an buy Frannie's place.
Shirley that sounds like an idea. It doesn't snow there and I know you would love that.
I would, but Jim wouldn't. However, he would be much closer to his youngest brother.
Frannie ... it is so beautiful. Love your walkway ... what a great place to spend time in.
Maybe tomorrow if I get a chance I will post more pictures because you cannot see all the walkways and it will give all of you a better idea of what it looks like.
AlohaHoya, I really don't have many weeks to speak of in this area. I would say that I don't spend 10 minutes a week on a few weeds that might come up that are probably from the birds. The whole area of grass was killed with Roundup, tilled and sprayed again. As the beds were built we bought all new soil that contained, peat, sand, compost and horse manure. It was not cheap but well worth the hours I have saved from weeding repeatedly. It is important to get a mixture from a reputable place that you know does not contain any type of weed or grass seeds. In another bed, outside the garden area, my DH went the cheaper route on planting mix and the bed has had a problem with weeds since we put it in.
I can't wait to see more pictures Frannie. That pink one is so special. Look at all that pink. Are you going to name it, you should!! Maybe put it on ebay to be named. A gorgeous pink like that would be a winner. LOL
Your Dad's brug is so floriferous. You must smile every time you look at it!
BrugNanny that is beautifull, now if I had a man in my life I would move to a place where my yard could look like that all year, definately no snow.
I have this photo of Franny backyard that she posted earlier...kept it because I liked it so much...hope it is OK tp post...not my photo but BrugNanny's
I would give anything to have something like that in my back yard, but with three acres it would be hard to figure out how to stop it. Would have to build fences or something for a stopping point. I just love Frannie's back yard.
Beautiful picture Frannie. I like the look of your backyard.
OH MY
Its heaven!
Now I know what I want for Christmas!!
Frann that is awsome. Not I have a Idea of what to use. Like all youer garden decore.
Hey, I am pretty close to you. Better watch out! I have put your yard on my Christmas list. And I have been VERY good.
How absolutely beautiful!!!
Your garden is lovely. very very pretty indeed!! You can tell that you lovingly tend it.....
Finally, I am able to take time and post some more pictures so that everyone can see the actual layout better. I spent time last night looking for pictures. A few of them are pictures of a picture because I no longer have them on my computer.
This first picture shows the drawing of the layout.
