Any one with Long views?

Trellises and Arbors is getting full and I dont know how to start a continuence.
Does anyone photograph longer views of their garden compositions?
I love them.

This is the garden from hell.
I did a lazagna bed in late March. There is a downward slope to this clay heap so I am always having to be carefull not to topple over.
PLUS I planted Red Husker and some Agastaches and they hate clay so I look everyday to watch them slowly disolving into the mulch.
I did take this long view when I came upon the garden while pixing other areas and It's beginning to look better to me. I will plant a bunch of Echinacias and Daylilies where the Ags and Huskers are failing.
I will not go down easy.
OOOOPS wrong pix

Here it is

The daylilies should love it there.

Here's one long view from my neighbor's side of the fence.

The vegetable garden with daylilies around it.

The dog's pen surrounded by various plants.

Another view of the dog's pen, on the left, and part of the long garden I call Belmont.

The long view of Belmont, named after a local park with the same type of pines, not the racetrack!. When I have major work to do there, such as removing ivy for an entire month one fall, JasperDale refers to me as Pirl in the Pines.

Just gorgeous Pirl.I do love the long shots with background trees and objects in them.

Thanks. Today is a nice rainy day to plan more areas for dahlia planting.

Beautiful gardens, Is this what you had in mind. This is my front walk taken last year.

This is what I call my walkway bed. Ric put in the stone walkway last summer and we expanded the old flower bed. It is still filling in and the small bed behind the potting shed is new also. This was taken this spring. I had my camera out taking a few other views we will see how they turn out.

Thats absolutlu what I meant.
I believe a garden is ALL the plants .

This is more of my front yard. We did a lot of work out there last year. Along with the stone walkway and extended bed we added another stone wall in front of the existing wall and reworked the old bed. So a good bit of this is new plantings. I like the way the curve of the wall mirrors the curve of the walkway.The mess right in the forefront of the pic is an old forsythia that I am in the process of removing. I will be putting in a prairie fire crab-apple in that spot. that is my L shaped clipped yew on the left with a walkway arch cut into it. The evergreen group to the right runs down along the road frontage.The path continues between the evergreen group and the yew on down past the veggie garden and to the barn.

Coming back up the opposite direction. As you can see I am growing my own shade. This young red maple was a gift from a co-worker that grows them. You can get a better look at the forsythia that I am removing. It was huge and has been here close to 30 years a small piece of it will be planted in another location. The PF Crab-apple that is going in that spot should add some nice fall/winter color and more shade for more shade plants. You can see the small bed behind the potting shed, I'm in the process of expanding that right now and working to remove and contain some of the large quince that is growing beside the potting shed. Actually the quince would give you a good idea of how very big the forsythia was as they were planted at the same time and grow about the same rate. The very large Juniper hedge at the back runs along a stone lane that is a shared driveway and the side edge of my property.

This is my favorite long shot of my side yard.

That's a wonderful shot, Chris. I love rocks in a garden and I love the color of that chair.

Beautiful Cris.
I lived in a neighborhood with houses close together. What else would you do with "no mans land"?lol

Cris, that is beautiful. How wide is your side strip?

Here is how I solved the problem of a concrete driveway built in 1927,cars were too wide to use it.
I like your solution too.

My side yard is 15 feet wide. We used to have swings there for the kids many years ago. When they got older and the swings went away I started with a border along the house and then later a border along the fence. Both borders kept getting wider and wider until only a three foot wide path was left in between.

The chair was pure chance...we got it free at a local thrift store. They were throwing it out because one strip of the woven seat and back was missing. It was still super comfortable and I just wanted a chair I could put into the border so I could sit in the shade for a quick rest while I'm gardening. With plants all around it and under it you barely notice the missing bit. I haven't even bothered to see if I could fix it.

There are a lot of really nice gardens above but that picture of pirl's garden taken from the neighbor's fence is gorgeous. It looks like it's right out of a garden magazine, a beautiful garden and excellent photography.

I agree with you about Pirl's photography skills (and gardening skills, of course), and that particular photo is almost unbelievable. It's almost like an idealized painting of a garden. I think she should blow it up and put it on a jigsaw puzzle.

Here's a shot from the front window in midwinter. It has its charm but I prefer the next shot.

June blooms.

Humonus Horizontalis

What beautiful and inspiring gardens. Pirl, do you give tours? Nothing makes me happier than walking through beautiful gardens.

Here is my side yard from last year. Too early for some of it's residents to be in bloom now.

This is my favorite spot to take a rest.

Beautiful Gazania! You could give garden tours also.

Hangin with Nepeta

This is the same area as the pic above, but taken earlier in the season.

And now later in the season.

This is in the back yard. It is actually 2 kidney shaped beds with a bird feeding station between them.

This is across the front yard this year. That is a large island bed taking yp most of the pic...and the tree is an old American Elm.

here are some from this AM

Venu, Very pretty, I can see why you like the June shot but I love your winter shot, too. From the look of your garden I would say that is a well earned "Humonus Horizontalis"
Gazania, Your side yard is lovely and I like how you have captured the same shot at different times over the season. I like to do that too helps a lot in making decisions about what to add or not.
Talking about garden tours, that is what I will be doing today. The Master Gardeners are opening their gardens up today for tours and we will be seeing several of them. Proceeds from the ticket sales will go to a good cause and it is nice to view private gardens.
This is my side entrance and parking area. You can see my motley collection of house plants on the patio to the right down a step to the shade bed, with bleeding heart, astilbe, hosta, heuchera, hellebore, lily of the valley, sweet woodruff a few left over daff leaves. This area is a working area as the potting shed is just to the right and quite there is a bit of a maze of pots and flats that I am working on. You can't see them now as most of them are just out of side behind the huge wisteria on the right. Those of you from the arbor thread have see pics of that wisteria. Yes, it is still sprawling as the trellis has been put on hold for later in the summer. LOL The stone driveway will get bricked when the trellis is built. There is a small bed on the right by the stone path that is the potting shed wall and the azaleas on the left. The greenery straight ahead is the forsythia I'm removing, it took me a while to decide as the forsythia did block some of the view from the road into my patio area. But really we get so little traffic and don't sit out on this corner of the patio that often.

What a sweet spot Holly
