Here Comes the Sun

Spring Garden Tour

I know it is late in May

but it has either been quite

cold or very rainy around

here, so we are just getting

the garden in now.

I bought a few flats

of annuals for containers.

I didn't go crazy this year

because I will be gone for

such a long period of time and

didn't want to have too much

watering for those that will

help me with the garden

while I'm away.

Let's take a look around

the Spring garden.  It will

be interesting to look again later

in the season to see the changes.

This is a hanging basket

that has just been planted.

The perennial border.

The butterfly garden.

Herbs gone wild.

Vegetable garden.

And my shadow...

I love to grow my own

food.  I am an Irish

girl after all...

A trellis I made, I grow

morning glories on it.

I include the birds

in my garden.

We haven't set up the

gazebo yet but we have

a candle-lit chandelier in

there and it is a great

place to end the evening.

The back 40.

Here is one of the toads

that live here,  I try to

encourage them to stay

since they eat tons of

mosquitoes.
