My Garden

The weather has been great this past week and we finally got out to work in our gardens.This first picture is the first garden you see as you come in the driveway.  There are a lot of plants coming up including rhubarb and tulips but there is a lot of plants we don't know yet.

This is the yard beside the driveway. The driveway branches off to the left towards the barns and drive sheds which are not part of our property.

This is the raspberry bushes and the vegetable gardens. We have just finished planting all our seeds and are looking forward to fresh vegetables this year. The little white house in the background is vacant.

The tool shed  and peony bushes (at least I assume they are peony bushes) This is just across the driveway from the vegetable garden.

There is a raised garden all around the back deck. This will be so much easier to maintain and weed since it is raised. I do not think that there are many plants left here from the previous owners other than some rockery type plants that have grown wild.

This is the right raised garden and this is where I planted all my perennials.  However, they were all just sticks so I am not sure which was which. It will be interesting to see what comes up and what survived the harsh winter.

This is the left raised garden and I planted my dahlia bulbs in this garden along with some giant marigold seeds.  There are some plants coming up but it is too soon to know what they are.

This was one of the first things to go in the garden. My daughter gave me this garden stone to put in my new garden for Mother's Day. I love it!

We spent all day planting the vegetable garden and just as we finished, it started to rain. How perfect is that?  God watered our garden for us just at the right time.
