. . . how does your garden grow?

by Jannylynn on July 7, 2009

I wanted to show you some garden spots in my yard.

These are some pots of flowers I gathered to one spot so my neighbor could water them for me while we were in Chattanooga.  Notice that we recently stained/sealed our fence.

This is the raised bed Dad helped me build and stock with wonderful soil.  Onions are on the left, 4 tomato plants in the middle, and peppers to the right of the tomatoes, and various herbs on the right.  Notice that most of the tomato plants fell over, even though I had cages around them.  The one that is still standing is taller than the deck railing - taller than me.

This is the front porch.  The Japanese Beetles tried to eat the ferns.

Two new red maple trees on either side of the driveway and simply wild roses at the base of each.

This is an island bed in our backyard. I transplanted much of this from the place where the simply wild roses are now.  Actually, this bed also has some of the roses in it - and some gold mound spirea.
