Boy has it been hot, too hot to enjoy gardening, yet I have been very busy doing just that these past few weeks...my front yard was just about all grass with some mature trees when we first moved here 5 years ago..our home sits on the back half of one acre, so I have been creating small gardens around my house the past couple years and have just now concentrated on creating island gardens further out away from my home. It has been grueling these past months with such hot weather and humidity so I haven't been to anxious to get started but did and still got a long way to go to spruce up my front yard but I will get there one day..my goal is to create a sanctuary for not only myself but for the birds and wildlife we have around here. So I am really looking forward to cooler weather. Here are some pics I took in the past few weeks of my gardens. Hope everyone enjoys!

I am new to your site and I like what I see. I am also enjoying the cooler weather. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks very pretty. It's nice to have a nice-sized lot to create your wildlife habitat. I haven't done much gardening the past month. I, too, am waiting for some cooler weather, but I do need to get out there and get busy.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is gorgeous! Lots of great ideas. I didn't realize sweet autumn clematis would grow here...how long have you had yours?

@rosesandgargoylesHI Jeanni, I have had them for 1 year now..3 of them..they are doing great..I saw on Davesgarden.com that they would grow here so I purchased them from mailordernatives in N. Florida. I absolutely love them!
