A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Spring and summer garden pics

I finally got all my pics up loaded and organized and thought I'd share. I've divided into 2 albums so you can see how my garden changed this year. As some of you know this was my first year of outdoor gardening and I thought I did all right. I've definately learned a lot for next year.

Very pretty Cheryl. You'll be amazed at how fast those bulbs and plants will multiply.

You did a great job this year, Cheryl! You grew many pretty things, too. Isn't it amazing how much can be learned in a short period of time?

It is amazing how much is learned in a short period of time. I keep having to remind myself that I haven't been doing this for years because that's what it feels like.

CheryI wonderful job,,


I'm Sooooooooo jealous of your Choc cosmos!! I love them!! I can't find them here


I love the Lavender Mountain Lilly ~ That would look perfect in a fairy garden!

The Mexican hat??>> I believe is a blanket flower,,

And your dble petaled Poppy is AWESOME!!

Thanks Diane. I got lucky with the cosmo. I wasn't even looking for one when I was at the nursery and it was my lucky day because they had a whole bunch of them and I couldn't resist. That was a long sentence huh?

I hear Ya Cheryl.. Yesterday I stopped by the nursery because I hadn't been there in a couple of months,, and I found Ebony Night Black Mondo,,, Bill gave me a clump of it when I was in Cedar Hill,, and when I got back I called every nursery in my immediate area,( I want to use it to border a White rock sitting area,,) And Noone has it , Never gets it and probably won't get it,, was all the answers I got,, ANYWAYYYYYYYY When I was looking around,, I went back to the tree area (Not even thinking about the Mondo I figured I have to wait until this clump I did have >to spread ) I couldn't believe I saw 3-1 gallon sizes of the Black Mondo ,, and YEP I grabbed them up ,, they also had the green and varigated, I had told them I had called them a few weeks ago yadda yadda,, And I guess they had gotten the Mondos in After I called,, She said, it wasn't ordered and was a fluke it was even there tho it wasn't selling,, so they marked it down to 50% .. I still had a coupon 10$ off 30$ purchase or more,, so I got Landscapers Mulch,, and some mushroom compost, super thrive and 3 gallons of Black mondo , and something for the person I will get in the Gift swap .. all for 24$ Good Deal!

So I guess I said all that just to let you know I can't resist either,,,, When It's There ~ GET IT,,~ Might not have another chance!!

That chocolate cosmos is beautiful and so is that poppy. Your Willies are cute looking at the flowers in your garden.

I've got some chocolate something - can't remember just now.
