All these beautiful gardens ... you make me jealous, Ladies!

Thanks for sharing yours GGal .... you know what the neighbour means when they say they enjoy the view of your garden? ... that's a subtle way of saying ... we'd gladly accept the bounty of YOUR labour!! And as you said the "construction" phase is over, so now it's the continue on, add-on and maintain phase! A little less work, and more rewards!

I moved to my home nine years ago, and about 5 yrs ago totally gutted the flowerbeds, mostly perennials and evergreens/shrubs/bushes. The first year they seemed so barren ... and gradually filled in! I keep remembering a magazine article I read sometime ago about perennials ....... first year they sleep, second year they creep, third year they leap .... and it's pretty much bang on!

Now I'm to the maintain and renovate stage .... not sure what I will do this year! Though I have decided that's how some people have SO many flower beds .... the perennials go forth and multiply, need thinning ... and so they start a new flowerbed!!!
