We have a large screened in area on our deck that is we use . Mr dh felt that we would get more out of the large area vs the small porch. My rockery is filling in as well as the hostas. The veg garden has finally taken. Slow in starting since we have had so much rain.
My baskets are flourishing as well as the planter box attached to the shed. My other bed near the front is full of hostas and flox and purple cone flower. In the front bed to the other side are flowering shrubs as well as lavender and roses.The pink clematis has not opened up yet.
The opposite side of the driveway holds lillies, evening primrose, bee balm, hydrangeas, sweet william, purple clamatis, and Rose of Sharron bush. Some roses that I transplanted have yet to flower. Maybe next year.
My dh hung my planter on the garage that holds pink wave petunias. It shows off so well against the gray stone.
We added some flowers in pots to the river rock out front on our new walkway that would take full sun. Pink petunias and pink verbena.
One single pink Lupin along with some Shasta daisy and Evening primrose in an old silver tea pot sits on my white weathered hutch.
Now to finish the other side of the front of the house. We need to roto till the garden and start fresh.

ReplyDeleteI love your gardens! I've been wanting to plant hostas for awhile. Seeing yours reminds me that I must get one soon to put in my garden. They make such pretty fillers in a garden. I'm your new follower and would love for you to follow me, too. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteI love porches, Linda! Being a Southern girl, sittin' on the porch is part of my heritage. ;)
ReplyDeleteYour gardens are quite lovely, and the pink petunia adds a wonderful spark of color to the gray wall.
Just joined you as a follower here, as well. Hope to see you at the party this week.
Blessings,
