My husband is great at it -- worked in landscaping for a few years during and after college -- but he has no time now with the amount of travel he does. I can't get on my knees for very long any more due to some nerve problems. So our flower beds are bare except for a few rose bushes and a hydrangea bush that are thriving beautifully despite me and a few hanging baskets.<BR/><BR/>I need to teach my sons to plant flowers. Then I can sit in a lawn chair with a big shady hat and a glass of ice tea and supervise. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-52316048100521476362008-07-31T05:24:00.000-06:002008-07-31T05:24:00.000-06:00These are really pretty - sadly, my garden photos ...These are really pretty - sadly, my garden photos would just be a lot of pictures of weeds.

Perhaps it helps that I've just moved to a new place with some foliage that is doing okay already. Give me a month. I'm sure I'll have killed them all by then.Shaleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02364055849106684154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-45500813514157085362008-07-30T05:47:00.000-06:002008-07-30T05:47:00.000-06:00I would be thrilled with this colorful response. I...I would be thrilled with this colorful response. I almost posted my one flower bed the other day with a question about growth, or lack thereof. One thing that's a disadvantage to me, I'm not all about the mulch, so that means a lot of weeding. But it's hard to do weeding while you're reading about other people's beautiful flowers.2nd Cup of Coffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05478944775613602625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-54169891691441039432008-07-29T21:18:00.000-06:002008-07-29T21:18:00.000-06:00Wow great job:) I love the yellow flowers with the...Wow great job:) I love the yellow flowers with the white ones:)....

Your yard looks great and none of those gorgeous plants and flowers looks at all like they're going to die any time soon.<BR/><BR/>My poor petunias are just pitiful this year. The only other "gardening" I've managed to do is pulling weeds. For some reason, when everything else is drooping, the weeds look as healthy as can be!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13078572615133867629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-61722032481279158762008-07-29T08:33:00.000-06:002008-07-29T08:33:00.000-06:00Oh I can so relate to being the same kind of garde...Oh I can so relate to being the same kind of gardener.
