| What a cute name for such a precious honey suckle vine- "Sweet Tea" |
 |
| Just a note- Deer love to prune this vine for me. It must taste mighty fine to them! |
 |
| Speaking of deer, I got a mighty fine picture of this little buck tonight. Might he be the one that eats my honey suckle? |
 |
| Don't you just love purple wave petunias? |
 |
| Purple wave petunias have intensely colored blooms that are great for hanging baskets and pots. They are heat tolerant and perfect for dry soils. They need lots of sun and grow 4-6 inches in height and spread 4-5 feet. The only down fall I can think of - They are annuals. |
 |
| For weeks I have been mad at my dog for digging in the bark chips and spreading them into the grass. Yesterday I found out the truth! This mama robin is finding worms for her babies and making a mess in the meantime! |
 |
| I finally got a photo of her babies so I can't be mad at her. |
 |
| I think there are only 2 chicks in her nest. I will let you know if I photograph more. |
 |
| This is a beautiful place to build a little nest, isn't it! ;) |
 |
| I've had this bird bath for years. I never fill it with water because I fear it will be a breeding zone for mosquitos. I finally found a purpose for it. Sedum and Succulents! These plants are so popular among gardeners this year. I am happy to have found this trend! |
 |
| Sedum and Succulents need very little attention. You can plant them where there is very little water and abundant sunshine. Make sure the sedum or succulents you plant are hardy in your zone. Most are hardy from zone 3-9. Sedum varies in height from just a few inches tall to 3 feet tall. Although they are generally used as ground cover, the trend of the year is to plant them in containers. I've seen them planted in wagons, strawberry pots, buckets, pails, terra cotta pots, and wooden boxes. I can't wait to post pictures of my wooden box. I got it for Mother's Day. I need to find the perfect place for it before I take pictures. |
 |
| So...... I have a thing for pink. But my front porch pots are Red & Orange. So every year I force myself to plant Red, Orange & Yellow in my front yard. This year I found new and exciting plants! |
 |
| As you can tell I did mix in Pink! I've taken a photo of all the tags so you could purchase these varieties of annuals for yourself! I'm so happy with the color scheme of my pots this year. |
 |
| Don't you just love Irises? They can grow and multiply almost anywhere. They do best in full sun in a variety of soils. |
 |
| I am so impressed with these lovely tulips this year. They just take my breath away. |
 |
| I love it when a photo turns out just right. |
 |
| Look at the amazing detail inside each tulip. |
 |
| What a stunning blossom! |
 |
| The color of this tulip is so elegant and dainty. |
 |
| What a joy to live in such a beautiful world. |
