What type of Flower You Love?

🌹 Roses all colors

and I love 💕

The Yellow Trumpets they’re so pretty!

I have moved house & left a big full rural garden so am really restarting a garden. I love a natural look & nothing too neat. I love all climbers, lupins,& stock, in fact all colourful, bright plants which have a great scent & are loved by butterflies. My favourite flowers are lillies, the sweet smell of them is amazing & I have lots of bulbs planted in a small back garden! What about you David? Happy Gardening, Honor.

I love the Queen series Zinnias. The colors are out standing! Find the seeds at Burpees, Brecks or other seed sites. They last until frost. The butterflies love them too. Nice cut flowers, and easy to grow. I like cottage flowers that fill up the garden and leave no room for weeds. Lots of day lilies are nice too. I took an old unused bed box spring foundation and flipped it into a raised garden bed for planting more flowers, and seeds. I took off the bottom cloth. It's only stapled on so that was easy. The top is on the ground and the open bottom is now the top of the raised bed. It's about 15" high. Fill with potting soil and plant. I put a little 12" decorative wire fence around it. Looks good, the only cost was the bags of soil to fill it up. The flower seeds I planted last week are up all ready. I didn't even need to remove the grass or prepare the site for planting. Just laid it down on the grass. Filled with soil and planted the seeds. Very, Very easy! I'm a 68 year old grand mom. The bed foundation is very light to move by my self from the house to the back yard.

I believe this should last a few years. It's like using those cloth grow bags that they sell in the garden centers. I plan on putting bricks or cinder blocks around the bed to hold in the soil when it starts to break down. I think painting the cloth sides of the box spring green or other dark color would look nice and blend in with the grass.

I actually made 2 different beds. One is a queen size foundation for my flowers and cutting garden, and the other bed is a twin size that I made into a small vegetable garden for tomato plants.

One more thing, we don't have trash pick up in my area, so this also saved me from having to pay some one to haul it to our local dump/recycle center.

When the time comes when I need the cinder blocks I can get them free at our recycle center too.

Sorry to talk your ear off, but when you ask about my garden flowers, Well...........

Like Honor, I love lilies (and remember well the scent of them in Winchester cathedral, in case she has had the privilege of visiting that landmark) I also like roses, lilacs, wisteria, peonies, I am not a good gardener and prefer to have flowers that return each year and that need little care. I think "architecture" in a small garden is important. I like to have flowers/herbs growing in pots that I can manage easily. Maine is not the best place. . . although many talented gardeners do manage, for having spectacular gardens.
