Gardening

My gardens, my breath of fresh air.

There is nothing more theraputic than planting a beautiful flower bed and watching it grow. It gives me so much pleasure and pride.

    Another garden in progress, when I edge my gardens with brick and rock, I put black plastic underneath to keep the weeds out.

    Donna C. In pix #3 I am building a concrete leaf plant as a multi level birdbath. Not done yet, I'm doing a copper wire flower to put on top. The concrete pagoda in backround, I posted just about a week ago. So you can look it up under Garden Art and see it up close.

    Allora C. I live in Sturgeon Bay, Wi. just 32 miles north of Green Bay in the summer and we have a winter home in Mesa, Arizona. Check out my posts on that house too. ...»

    Sherry S. that pretty dog has a sister, Her name is Cooki. You are right they are great therapy too.

    Gardens definitely refresh you especially after a long dreary winter! The concrete leaves are great fun--have you tried a squash leaf? They are more complicated to form but come out great!

    Your garden is lovely. Amazing how beautiful it is since you live in WI and as I remember when I lived there the growing season is short and the winters brutal.

    That is so true Sherry, I choose plants that are winter hardy to -20 degrees, and those that bloom most of the growing season, or those that bloom consecutively. I also have a home in Mesa, Az. and have fun with a totally different way of gardening...especially since I do Xeroscape there

    Beautiful! If you are like most of us, your gardens and landscape are never done! I love finding and making items that I can use as yard art.
