My Last Garden of the Year!

Well I have completed my last flower bed for the season. Unless I can talk my husband into another one but we have some other things that need to be done so I will leave him unlone for the rest of this season. It turned out really well and all I have to say is I had 2 swollen hands from digging up all that grass. My arthritis isn't a fan of gardening but I am not giving it up no matter how much I suffer afterwards. That's what pain medicine is for right!!

Anyways take a look and let me know what you think of my new bed!!!


My welcome basket as you enter the backyard from the patio. My marigolds are doing great this year!!! Hope they keep it up!

If you have never had these straw flowers you should really try them. I think they are the neatest thing. My son picked them out. When it's cloudy they don't fully open up but when the sun is out they are out in full. The petals don't really die off and if they do they are underneath so you never see them. Kind of cool.

I can't wait for my peonies to bloom next year. They are going to be beautiful. Light pink, white and fuscia.

The other side. Didn't want to put up both sides of split rail fence just incase someone or something had to get through that spot and then couldn't because of the fence.

Another view looking at my new fence and garden. It reallys finishes the patio off! Makes me smile looking at it!

My first Cana Lilies, they only get to be about 2 feet tall. I have always admired them but never really thought to plant them. So when I seen them at the greenhouse I thought I should try some this year.

My black eyed susan's that are annuals. These are one of my favorite flowers this time of year! They kind of make me think of fall looking at them!

My cast iron bean pot that I purchased at an Antique Store. I love using it outside in the summer and bringing it in, in the winter to sit on top of my woodstove filled with water, cinnamon, cloves & vanilla to send off a great aroma. If you haven't tried it you should.

Well I can tell you that my next post will be of my new items I have gotten the past couple of months!! Finally got around to taking them this am. So hopefully this week I can get them on here so you can see alittle bit of the inside of my home.

Have a great rest of the weekend! Canada Day is coming quickly and for you American's the 4th of July. So I am sure there is a lot of planning going on this week for big celebrations!

Enjoy & have a great week!
