Here are a few more.. they include my veggie garden. It doesn't look like much now, but you just wait...I have tomatoes, bi-color corn (yummy!!) okra, zucchini, yellow squash, red, yellow & green bell peppers, cucumbers, basil and cilantro....can't wait!!!! :lol: :lol: If it is like last summer...if you park your car near me..you better lock your doors unless you want me to sneak some veggies in there when you aren't looking!!

I like Slim! Great pictures, and lots of inspiration. I'm limiting myself to flowers this year. I wish I did live near you. I'd happily leave my windows open and you could toss in all the veggies you wanted!! :D

Beautiful flowers! I would love having a big garden like that! It's going to be good eating at your house this summer!

sandpat 04-26-2008 03:54 PM

Yep, I wish you lived near me too MissT!

And thank you Chele..come on over and share the bounty!

My veggie garden just looks big in the pic...we have greatly downsized..thank goodness..it was that or I told DH I was retiring altogether from veggies..waaaaaay tooooo much work. Now we basically plant only what we can't buy at the store (well, not as good anyway). We have given up trying to give things away...these lazy people want you to do everything but eat it for them :evil: ...I'm nice, but......

Beautiful gardens. Not much up here yet, especially on the coast. Soon I hope.

Beautiful, you can't beat the taste of homegrown veggies though, I used to have an allotment for a few years back in the U.K. loved it!! :D

The iris's are just gorgeous. They are one of my favorite flowers. Right up there with roses and gardenias. The garden is looking good. Mine is coming up pretty good except fo the potatoes. We have had so much rain that I think a lot of them have rotted in the ground. Tomatoes and purple hull peas are looking good though. And maybe just maybe if I can beat the squirrels to them I will get strawberries next week. :lol:
