July 7th my back yard at sunset

I am not at all thrilled with these pictures. The lighting is all wrong. I may try again tomorrow earlier in the day. I love my garden, and what it can become. 


back yard from patio view, notice the fence goes from next to the house, and curves around.

 


Back yard from deck view, fence follows accross the yard, and around the tree.

 


view from flower bed, at this angle you cannot see the fence. It is my hope, once I have large enough plants, it will cover the fence completely.

 


view from corner, corn rasberries, I may not have the corn here next year. All the rasberry bushes were eaten by those pesky rabbits.



view from tree garden, this is a real nice sitting area. The tree shades in the afternoon so nicely. It looks much nicer in person.



view from tree, you can see the taller corn on the right.



view from squash, this will be laid out differently next year. But for now, it works.

 


view from on deck. far left, bottom, you can not see it but I have a pumpkin patch, then you CAN see the cucumber, and cantolope plants. Above that is the strawberries, we have about 20 plants.



more pictures of what the naughty birds did!

they popped the flower heads right off and spread the seads. Wierd!

and another mess from the birds

Gardening time

I never realized what joy there was in gardening while I was young. Like so many things in life, I had to wait until I was almost too old to enjoy doing it. Yard work is not work to me at all. It is pure joy. I love waking up in the morning and rushing outside to see what is blooming.

We moved to our new home in the fall, and I never even saw what this yard had to offer, until now. What wonderful treasures it has in the front yard. The back year was a blank canvas. Nothing but grass, and one tree. (2 small rosebushes I almost forgot). SO the planning began right after all the snow melted. Below are the first of many plants, and plans to come. I really understand how Elmer Fud felt, I too have besky rabbits to deal with... So up came a fence. I have many more plans for that also. In time, it will all make sence.

My tomatoes are growing fast!

This my cucumber plant

And the cantolope
