Welcome to my garden

 Welcome to my home and garden. I am sorry that I have not been posting much but I have been spending most of my time outdoors in the gardens and have not done much with my miniatures.

 My husband loves fountains, ponds and country syle ornaments and he could not wait to start working in these gardens.  This is the fountain he put on the front lawn.

 A water pump and mailbox was also put in. (The mailbox is not used as we have to go to a local box to pick up our mail) Also we will have to take it down for the winter as it would be in the way of the snowplow.

 He put a pond beside the front deck along with a rose arbour. This is a favorite spot for birds and we love to sit and watch them. There will be a climbing plant going up the arbour eventually.

 These flowers are in the front garden beside the driveway and look like miniature mums. It is very interesting watching to see what is coming up as we do not know what is planted in the gardens.

 A small rose bush is almost buried under other plants and I am going to have to learn how to care for roses properly. I think it is more like a wild rose although I do not see any suckers on the plant.

 We brought our kissing couple with us as they have been in every one of our gardens. I thought the rose abour was a perfect spot for them. We do not move them around much as they are very heavy.

 This is the raspberry and vegetable garden. The soil is very hard clay and the garden is overrun with foxtail grass.  So I have been constantly trying to get rid of the weeds and turn the soil over. But it is so nice to see the vegetables growing.

 I was so pleased to find this beautiful peony bush growing. I have tried to grow peonies before but we were never there long enough for them to get full grown. And this one is such a beautiful colour.

 In one of the gardens, I found these tiny pansies almost hidden under the daisies. At least I think they are a form of pansy. They are so pretty. I wish there were more of them.

 The garden by the back deck is where I planted all my perennials and most of them did not survive the winter. So I was pleased to see these daisies come up and fill in the blank areas.  My dahlia bulbs survived  and they are growing well although they are still very small and you can't see them too well in this picture.

 This was one of the plants that did survive the winter, although they are much smaller than they were before. However, I did not realize that the owner had a herb garden here and the iris are almost buried under the dill plants. I am not sure what other herbs are here but the garden is full.

 These yellow flowers are planted in the middle of the back lawn and I am going to have to get rid of all the long grass around them but so far we have just let them grow as they were.

 At the back fence there are these lovely dainty white flowers growing through the fence. They almost look like baby's breath and they look lovely in a bouquet. They are growing wild in the field behind the fence.

And behind the fence we have a wonderful meadow that is full of wild flowers which I love. When I was a child, I used to spend hours wandering through meadows picking wild flowers and now I have a small meadow in my own backyard. I have a little piece of heaven here and I do love it so much. I picked a small bouqet from my garden and so I have flowers inside and out. I do hope you enjoyed your tour of my garden.  Please come again. (I will try to post more frequently.)
