Doris - I'm glad that the pics from my garden make it seem cooler at your place - :) - It actually is cool here right now. We are having a week of below ave. temps so it is in the 70s. We do have about 2 1/2 acres here, about 1/2 acre of yard and the rest woods - and our yard has been on some garden tours. If you're in the area, stop by...Our neighbor's daughter is getting married in their back yard on the 13th so we probably will have a few "unofficial" tours next week. My neighbor has as many perennials (or more) as I do so there is a lot to see if you like flowers, garden art, etc. Our address is Blooming Woods Drive.
Our first municipal band concert is tonight. The first concert is always a pie and ice cream social at the senior center, then we have a week off and then have concerts every Wed. thru about the first of August at a park in town. There are also concerts on Monday nights at the same park with different performers every week. Truly small town America at its finest. Joleen in Small Town MN

It is so beautiful.
Do you take care of it all yourself?
Hopefully you have some help.

Thanks - DH is starting to do the watering because there are lots of annuals in pots as well - and he is doing the vege garden this year (we'll see...) but I do the rest. He decided to mulch quite a bit (none of which is in any of the pictures) so that will probalby make maintenance easier. But once the spring work is done, it is usually only a few hours a week including the mowing. And since I enjoy it, it doesn't seem like "work." The shade bed in the pictures is almost maintenance free because the perennials cover almost the entire area - there is no place for many weeds to grow (thankfully!). That area was the worst part of our yard because grass wouldn't grow, just moss - it has evolved over the last few years... Joleen
I love your garden too! Gardens are always a work in progress and it is nice when they get to the "just" maintenance stage! Hope you are having a great week!
