Victoria, BC(Zone 8b)

when you are BBQing? I take pictures! This is my yard today, while I was waiting for dinner to cook on the barbi.

This is the back yard.

Looks exceptionally neat and tidy, Linda. In the first shot, it looked like a black bear leaving the scene! LOL Your daffs are just finishing and out in the interior ours are just about to start.

Ohhhh, very nice! Gee, I hope some of them wait until we get there. :(

Those pinky-mauve ones with the shiny leaves looks like Bergenia. Love seeing your yard Linda.

Castlegar, BC(Zone 6b)

Sure hope Kayla enjoys early morning walks...say around 6:00 am. I don't want to feel homesick, ya see.

Moose Jaw, SK(Zone 3a)

Bravo Linda, your yard is all ready for summer. It looks really good. Thanks for the fix, Joelle

Victoria, BC(Zone 8b)

Here's another of Kayla, Thanks everyone for the kudos

Kayls does get up arpound 6, but she's not up to walking any more, stairs are hard enough. I'm just hoping she's still here for the RU.

I'll get pictures of the front yard tomorrow.

Campbell River, BC(Zone 8a)

Great shots Linda. You definitely need your own place. Ü You sure have a lot of lovely plants in pots. Your brugs are beautiful. I love the way Rosamund looks...it's so shiny it almost looks like the flower is made out of wax. Kayla does look kind of like a bear. I'm looking forward to seeing it all in person. It's not long now. *Ü*

Wonderful pictures Linda. They make me long for spring back here even more! Kayla is a sweet lookin' lady. --Ginny

Castlegar, BC(Zone 6b)

... Sigh... I know just how Kayla feels. Some mornings it's tough to get up those stairs.

Edmonton, AB(Zone 3a)

oh yeah that yard looks just like pam's and mine right - except for the snow, ice, dead grass, and leafless trees. LOL

Moose Jaw, SK(Zone 3b)

Oh how accurate that is....ROTFLOL!! I believe it will be the first week of August by the time my yard looks that good.......Lynn will have me beat there!

Pickering, ON(Zone 5b)

Very nice photo's Linda.....Still to much snow on our BBQ maybe this weekend it will start to melt....
Your yard looks great.

Anna

Looks great Linda. Haven't we had wonderful weather this winter and spring. Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks.

Victoria, BC(Zone 8b)

we really have had great weather. Although, I imagine it'll be a drought this summer. Oh well, I'll worry about it then and if it comes.

Looking forward to meeting all of you coming to the RU. We'll have lots of pictures for you to see.

fort erie, ON(Zone 6a)

Fredericton, NB(Zone 5a)

MG way to go! I'm so anxious to see the grass or anything green (and i know I'm not the only one) --I just can't grasp that it's that nice somewhere else in Canada....I'm happy for you and looking on with (pleased) envy from beautiful white NB. LOL!!

Can you tell me what the name of the plant is on the extreme left , almost cut off -of you pic entitled "messy deck /GH" above? Jo ♫

Victoria, BC(Zone 8b)

Jo, the spiky thing? that's Dr. Moy ginger. Imma hoping it'll bloom this year.

Linda

Victoria, BC(Zone 8b)

and now the front yard, as promised. (the back yard is better)

in the cage is my bleeding heart, and the green thing, is elephant ?, not elephant ears, but grows about 3' with spiky flowers.

oh yeah, lots of allysum and chick weed.
