I have to admit, it's been a long, long time since I had any interest in gardening. The first summer that I lived in our old house I went crazy, learned all about perennials versus annuals, bought loads of plants.
And then my neighbour hit me in the head with an empty beer can (not really true, but it might as well have happened) and I realized that you have to love your outdoor space to actually enjoy it.
So, years later, we find ourselves with a backyard we love. And so, the garden books have been dusted off.
Here are a few overall shots of our lovely garden as it is currently:
Over time I will change things, but there are some really pretty flowers at the moment. Here are just a few favourites:
One of the best parts about the garden is that most of it is shaded, which means I can finaly have my hosta garden. There are already quite a few here:
WOW those flowers are BEAUTIFUL!!
