This is my work-in-progress. It is also one of the things that makes me happy! I LOVE to garden. Up until 2 years ago, I had always preferred vegetable gardening, but thanks to my mom and my best friend Janelle, I decided to try my hand at flower gardening. This is the first year that things are beginning to fill out and even though everything won't be blooming for another couple of weeks, I think that just the foliage looks pretty. The big "sticky" thing in the background is a HUGE Hydrangea bush that the kids gave me for Mothers Day about 7 years ago. After this year, I am going to move it away from the house and plant climbing roses.
The only things really in bloom right now are the sages, delphinium, and Irises. My roses have just started, but can't really be seen in the pictures yet. I thought that it would be neat to see it now, and then again in a few weeks when everything is in bloom.
The flowers are a wonderful mix of plants that I have purchased and plants given to me by my mom, my aunt and Janelle.
I have been going for an English garden look, and I think I may eventually acheive it. I am completely hooked! I think that I may be a flower addict. I need to make some more gardening friends so that I can support my habit!

Your flower garden is just beautiful! I ofcourse like the purple flowers but the other plants will be pretty when they bloom. You are one that excels in everything you do! My flowers start dying as soon as I put them in the ground, even those that come already grown from the nursery!
Your "Jack is back" blog is one that makes a grandmama's heart burst with Pride. He is a good athelete and will do very well in any sport he plays. But most important he has a good atitude. LOVE THAT BOY!!!
Love you all,
Grandmmama
P.S. Tell Race hello for me and that I Love him also!
I love the pictures of the flowers. I love to get out and work in my yard. My flowers are a combination of Mother's Day presents and contributions from the yards of my parents and my mother in law. I am getting ready to steal some of my parents peonies out of their yard before they sell the house up here.
Oh, your garden looks wonderful!
I, too, love to garden. Our last house was a good garden house, but now we have crummy soil, chipmunks eating all the roots and deer eating all the foliage and flowers. Sigh, it sort of sucks all of the joy out of the process to find your work eaten overnight.
So you'll need to post plenty of pictures of yours so I can enjoy it vicariously!
(I seem to recall landing here via a link in KathyJo's blog, just so you know.)
You mean there's more to jsut opening a packet of wildflower seeds and throwing them out my back door? Hmmmmm I'll have to look into that!
Your gardens look just beautiful and elegant!
The flowers look great! OH HOW I LONG TO PLANT!! But we must first get the yard put back together. Yes, we are STILL waiting for the yard-man to show up again. *sigh* So for now, I will enjoy yours. All the hard work is paying off!
I think you're right - it's starting to look like a Real English Cottage out front! *squeal*

OOOhhh! Lovely! I love gardening, but don't have the knack for doing an English garden (which is what I Want) -- I make things too symetrical.
