Garden Tour

Over at Pinewood Castle last Friday, Tracy shared her garden photos and invited anyone to join in. I thought it would be fun to snap some photos and join her this week. Feel free to share yours as well. Leave a comment if you do, I'd enjoy seeing how your garden grows!

First, I thought I'd show you a few of my flowers not necessarily in gardens, but just around our yard:


In case you missed it in my Daybook, this one is by the swing set




Under a tree



By the playhouse door



In an old corn planter


Begonias & Spider plants in pots; Astilbe & Jacob's Ladder planted


The Gardens:

Front Terrace



Hosta, Hardy Geranium, Daylily & Salvia

Columbine

Perennial (Natalie's) Garden



Cranesbill

Spiderwort

Box Perennial Garden




The Dead Nettle is spreading like crazy. I just planted it last year.



Hosta/Mum Garden (newest addition)



Vegetable Garden

Yellow & Green Beans are up!

Tomatoes & Green Peppers


Thanks for coming along on my little tour! I hope to post more throughout the summer as my gardens grow and blossom.

  6. Thank you for your kind words ladies!

    Our yard and the flowers is what happens when a mama gets stuck inside in the freezing cold MN winters for too long! :)

    I enjoy these gardens for the few months I do get to work in them and look forward to springtime each year when they all reappear.

    And yes, any of you ladies are more than welcome for a visit ANY TIME or perhaps I will be able to come see you sometime very soon I hope :)

  7. It is nice that I am able to make the short walk across the lawn to see the beautiful flowers Sarah has. She definitely has a green thumb and hoping that it rubs off on her neighbors yard!
