My garden

Wasn't really sure where to post this but I been promising tabasco I would post pics of my garden and for the most part I feel it's tropical. This was earlier in the summer when the hems where blooming.

This has a water feature in the middle but you can't see it, the coleus kind of took over.

I still grow brugs and this was a path hard to see now.

Howdy neighbor! I love your many great grasses! And we're close enough to do plant swaps(hint,hint). And wow! The daylilies are awsome! I finally posted some of my gardens on JanetS's thread on unusual color combos and sanannie's thread on color contrasts. I'm a terrible photographer though!

I think you should post this in the perennials forum to. Those folks will dig it!

Love the grasses, miscanthus? everything is so beautiful and healthy! thank you! debi

Brugs again and you can see some banana's and canna hiding in there.

A back view coming in behind the water garden and I won't bore you any more.

Thank you gemini_sage and trackinsand. Gemini I think I suggested that before when you joined. lol Give me a yell . Trackinsand yes for the most part they are Miscanthus. I have badseed to blame for my addiction to ornamental grass. (had to be careful how I worded that) lol

It is a beautiful garden Peggy. I love grasses ... have been picking up whatever I have been able to find.

Hey Deb I missed your birthday post until it was to late. Email me my puter crashed and lost all my emails bet I can help ya out.

AWSOME..... what type of grasses is that.... I got some zebra grass from janet os but it died or I pulled it up thinking it was that ?cosomicos?

ely

Hey Larry most of what you are seeing are Miscanthus. You want me to include some in your next box? lol

Peggy, everything looks so lush and beautiful! I am going to have to find time to come see it before old man winter sets in.

sure do doesn't grass have to be moved when its growing? or is that bamboo?

ely

A back view coming in behind the water garden and I won't bore you any more. ----- Bore me more - PLEASE .......

Wonderful pics and wonderful views....... it is a visit to the tropics......

Is that snail vine on the right in the last picture?
Jan

mystic--thanks so much for posting the pics. You really have a lush garden this summer! Hard to believe with all the drought we have been having on our side of the river, anyway!
Love the pic of the daylily garden especially. So pretty.

I'll look for more of your garden pics on tropicals. Thanks for the d-mail--I wouldn't have found these without it. t.

Peggy, it looks great. I love the way you have color floating all in it, not just green like I let mine get. Sure looks good.

It's beautiful Peggy!

Beautiful garden pictures. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful Garden. I love the grasses.

Hi Peggy,

Just saw this post and was amazed at how lush your gardens are. I can't believe how good your Coleus look and how big they are. One of these days I'm just gonna have to visit your gardens in person. lol

Beautiful

Donna

Very beautiful garden, if you think you were boring us you are so wrong. I would love to see more of your garden, post more please.

Linda

Badseed yes you are going to have to come when its not snowing. lol Ely I usually divide them in the spring so if you will remind me then. VS71099 thank you , its kinda of in the blah stage my hems and alliums and lilies are finished blooming, waiting for the salvia's cannas etc to start blooming good. Budgielover, yes that is snail vine on the right and Mina lobata on the left. It hasn't start blooming yet. Tabasco I had promised your some pictures, we have had the drought too. My gardens really are not like they usually are the few rains we have had lately really perked things up. Roz and Susie thanks, nothing compared to your gardens. There are lots of your babies hiding in there. Ahelms, Picabo, 2pugdogs thanks so much. I will try to get some more pictures. SoCal thanks, the coleus have gone wild this year. You are welcome to visit anytime.

That is a beautiful daylily!

Mystic, I'm blown away! So many unusual plants (for our area) and all so lush. Does'nt look like it was set back by the hot, dry summer now. Love it all! I remember now that you mentioned a swap, and I spaced. Silly me! I'll be looking at your want lists. Thanks for posting.

P.S. You can't bore us with pics of pretty plants! But keep on trying!

Neal.

Peggy! It's so lush and beautiful despite the drought you've had all summer. Gorgeous garden. Wish I could come see it. You need to start a landscaping business and set peoples gardens up for them. You are truly an artist!!!!!

Peggy
Your gardens are to die for, love them.

Ruth

Oh Peggy, it is sooo beautiful. It looks so peaceful.

I could take a good book and hide out for hours in a garden like yours. :)

Beautiful gardens. Thanks for showing us.

Brenda

Peggy it's everything I pictured and MORE!
Sweet!
We do indeed seem to share the same machete style of gardening.
Or as I like to call it.
"Of COURSE I can fit it in" gardening! lol

Sorry I missed you yesterday.
We ended up working later than usual. Go figure!
We're hooking up w/ Chele tomorrow to bring her moving supplies.
Thanks! I owe you more than a few!

Ric

Peggy.. what a beautiful garden you have!

Mystic, I love your pics. I think we are in the wrong zone. Do you leave your banana trees out? I love visting the beach, so this is one way I bring the beach home.
Teresa

Beautiful. The first photo looks like something Monet might have liked to have painted. Barb

Thank you everybody. Bluegrass425 no my nanas have to come in. I did try basjoo out last year and lost it but I think the was my fault it was not in a sheltered spot and maybe I didn't mulch it well enough. Going to try again this year.

This was taken at night. Ignore the mess the dog had fun with some foam rubber.

Peggy, that is so lovely! The contrast of the dark leaved canna against all the cream in the variegated grass is so striking. And is that variegation in that elephant ear (?) in the lower right of the pic(up close)? It's beautiful.

Neal.

Beautiful gardens. Thanks for showing us.
:) Donna

Plus the contrast of the foam..........beautiful! lol

Seriously though.......
we both love lush feel and the way the plants are showcased!

Nice work!

Ric

It's easy for me to totally not see the foam. I have my own spreader of anything she can find, so I'm really used to it ! LOL My destructo dog is Sophia, and thank the Lord she quickly learned not to do that to any more potted plants! She just could'nt resist plastic pots!

Thanks Neal, The ear on the right is mickey mouse. PerennialGirl thanks. Ric gosh I thought the foam really added to the picture. I could have shown the freezer that quit 2 weeks ago still sitting on the porch. lol Did I hear you volunteer to come water and weed? Neal, Chester my dog don't do potted plants but sure loves the pots and some of my beds. I am trying to reclaim some of this year sitting pots in there to keep him from digging them out.When I think I have won part of the battle and he finds a new spot. lol
