life in and around the garden
This side of the garden doesn’t get photographed much.
Even this image is from three seasons ago.
The south side of the fence is planted in perennials for a cottage garden effect.
The future plans are to continue expanding the plantings to embrace more of the yard.
Our home will began a renovation project this Spring. In the future we will be opening up walls and creating two openings to the back of the house.
We all ready decided we need to add a gate to this side of the fence!
to wipe your feet.
I have several pairs of garden boots.
Basic black, bright colors, high boots, short boots.
Come Summer time, I’m usually happy with my well worn Converse.
With the deep freeze of Winter howling outside, I prefer to rest my eyes on pretty garden images.
Another year has rolled through in the garden.
How quickly the seasons slid from one to the next.
2013 was a year of extremes.
Snow and cold that did not want to end.
A Summer that came on hot and hotter.
Fall dropped in with cold, miserable weather.
And Winter, well it’s colder!
Happy New Year garden friends!
July
When the garden really takes off, spilling over the edges of the raised beds.
Vegetables are getting ready to pick and enjoy! Well worth the work and the wait.
Peas and beans are ready for picking.
A welcome sight this morning after days of clouds, cold and rain.
