We all enjoy seeing shots of individual blooms, but I know many of us lust to see the complete beds of our fellow gardeners. I thought it might be fun to watch the progression of each other's beds through the seasons. I took this shot a week or two ago and already there are so many changes. Would love to see everyone else's!! I'll get a few more shots tomorrow.
Victor......................GARDEN beds.
Lusting to see my beds? Hmmm. Sure, I'll try for some wide shots.
how many beds to you need Victor?? :~)
Never enough.
And you need a wide shot too???
But of course!
And on that note, I will go to bed. The big one with pillows.
Nitey-nite!
I posted full shots last year. I can get some early ones - gonna see a lot of fences.
I did too. Right now there are too many empty areas!
oooo, I want to see fences. I'm gonna start a fence thread...
Venu very nice!! I seem to lean toward fences that have gardens planted in front of them if that makes sense...i sort of like the more empty space in the middle with all kinds of flowers going around! Very nice.....I love the size of your yard!!!
Good idea threegardeners! I love fences...they provide another way to grow vines and they do offer character....I like that you can also put planter boxes on them too!!!
if it's not raining I will go take some for you tomorrow
^_^
I'm not stopping there - I'm adding dead flowers and ugly neighbors!
How about ugly flowers and dead neighbors?!
LOL Al

very nice Allison:
I like to see the varied combinations of plants gardeners come up with. What have you planted with the lilies?
Yes - and lots of work put in!
OMG is that a back hoe? Your concept and the changes are beautiful.
delph. phlox lobelia and some others

sad part is on the shed side of the house we are knocking down the old shed... and putting up a few raised beds there and moving the new to be built shed in the back right corner of the yard this year
only 60 in front 120 in back... pie shape 125 length
You must be making good use of every inch!
trying like heck... if it weren't for the slopes it would be much easier... my ankles don't like that sort of thing... but I am trying to fill those spaces with worth while plants and trying to block out the weeds at the same time.... not been easy that's for sure... but after you see all that just want to remind you I didn't know what gardening was before we bought this house in 2004
:)
You did great on the "learning curve" everything looks wonderful.
Slopes are hard work but they offer you the opportunity to have a 3-D look to the garden.
