One of the three rose trees that were given to me in the fall of 2007. These are presently in my side garden near the front of the house but I am planning on moving them this fall.

My lovely Daturas. Now if I could only get a picture with multiple blooms at one time

This was in the summer of 2007. The area has been extended forward.

This is the garden in summer of 2007. It was extended again in 2008

The garden is now being created. Circa Apr.-May 2007

This view is just as my garden project is about to begin around the end of March 2007

Oneof my favourite pictures

A view from our deck looking down ont the garden

This photo which is at the entrance to our basement apt. is of my big hydrangea. I only put it in this spot in early May and it barely had a leaf and here we are presenting me with two lovely blooms. Cant wait to see it next year. I was a bit afraid that it wouldn't get enough sun but I knew that they tolerate a lot of shade.

In front of it is another blue hydrangea which I put in after it had finished blooming and it is now in bloom again.

Just another view taken just today July 31/08.

The plaque says "All things Grow With Love"

This must be the trick. LOL.

Just loved this climbing rose called the Fourth of July. It is beside the post for the birdhouse so I hope that I can train it to go up that.
