    Beautiful!!! My gardens are so overrun with lupines this year, I just don't know where to start. They have strong roots, and I just know I will ruin the other plants they are smothering if I try to dig them up. Any suggestions??

    It must be so relaxing to stroll around your yard. Everything looks so pretty. I love the orange iris!!

    You must love being in your gardens - beautiful and relaxing. (After you have finished all the weeding the planting of course.)

    Lupines actually have one long tap root, so digging them up may not bother other plants.

    Well--there's rarely any strolling going on. :lol: There's always something to do. I like to post photos so I can sit down! I picked great days to work on it because it's been windy to keep the bugs at bay.

    Now that it's all planted, I'll try to keep dead-heading to keep blooms coming, and I'll weed it from one end to the other at least three times this summer, but once I start for school in Sept--the garden is left. It's hard to work everything in!

    Last year my daughter suggested I plant MORE gardens since I loved it so, I told her I felt I had too much to plant and weed now and more would definitely tip the scales away from the joyful side. :wink:

    Beautifully done!! Just getting a lot of my annuals in. Perinnals are doing well though. Working on my d*** lawn for the 4 season in a row. My other house out in the country had a beautiful lawn, no weeds - nothing but beautiful thick grass. This house, OH MY LORD!!! Nothing but weeds, can't get grass to grow. UGH!!! I just hate the idea of mowing weeds!!! :lol: :lol: Drives me nuts.
