All your hard work wintering over so many containers is inspirational! Your design sense amazes me - I wish you could come and make some sense of the cacophony of plants in my garden!(Alas, I know that the answer is to get rid of some plants but I love them all!)outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731207846496064700.post-71812490745149924962013-07-22T01:55:53.018-07:002013-07-22T01:55:53.018-07:00Thank you for sharing these photos Deanne, your ga...Thank you for sharing these photos Deanne, your garden looks lovely and lots of plants have thrived well despite the heat.

Many years ago I even put an urn in my garden, copying yours - your driveway garden was the first picture I ever saw, it had an urn that was planted with a fountain grass, which I copied in my urn. Every year I drool over the pictures you post and plan and dream. Unfortunately, I do not have your gift of arranging plants. Mine just always looks ratty. But I will not give up! You inspire me with every photo! I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...:)Leslie's Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08934030162946774736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731207846496064700.post-6163785853311761392013-07-20T13:47:36.592-07:002013-07-20T13:47:36.592-07:00My aunts in Holyoke, Mass. say this summer is like...My aunts in Holyoke, Mass. say this summer is like nothing they've ever seen too.

Morning is definitely a magical time in the garden on these hot summer days. Usually I'm getting ready for work and can't enjoy it. Hope to get to bed early tonight so I can be up and at it early tomorrow. Better days are coming!

I need to get one of those Bromelaid trees. ;-)Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.com
