Even though I only have a few of my perennials in bloom at the moment, it's the time of year to get the annuals planted. :D

I managed not to go overboard this year. :54:

Tub filled with Geraniums and white trailing fillers

Thanks so much, Ant. :)

Oh you love the squirrel? Good! Now I know who I can send him (and his relatives) to once I catch 'em in my trap.

NO squirrels, and definitely NO deer are allowed anywhere near my "prized" possessions. ;)
 
Wendy is that one of pergola roofs you were putting together? You have such neat well manicured gardens. I tend to have weed patches in between the flowers. I love the pics and you have to promise to keep them updated as the season progresses. PLEASE. :D

Oh no, Alison, that pergola is all done. :) We have another one right next to the house that's getting a REAL roof (and hopefully with skylight). SO much work!!

Thank you for your nice comments. :) I promise to keep the pics updated. In a few weeks my peonies should be open, and then the roses will start their show. :)
 
Nice job!!
It looks fantastic and you've inspired me. We are finally getting a blast of nice weather for the first time this year,I'm getting ready to power wash the decks and start gardening myself. Birdies were out with me on the deck yesterday for their first outdoor shower, they loved it.
 
Beautiful Wendy! Just absolutely gorgeous! Can you come and do mine! :D

I don't have a green thumb. I've had planters in front of my store for 2 past summers that didn't get filled. Then some friends of mine planted flowers in them for me last week! I think they were tired of seeing them empty! :D I'm so busy with everything else, I don't have time to do gardens unfortunately.

Please do not send them and their relatives this side, Mishka will become jealous :eek:

I hope they do not return and do damage like they did early during this week to your "prized"possessions.
You will have to re-spray with that disgusting stuff again :(
 
Wonderful garden. You have the touch. (I'm glad if I can just get my grass to grow and stay green).

Thanks, Sandy :) I bet your fids LOVED the outdoor shower. As soon as we have a warm enough day mine will be getting the exact same spa treatment. :D

Oh believe me, if you lived closer, I'd be RIGHT THERE. I LOVE playing in dirt. Wait...that didn't sound right, did it? :52:

That makes 2 of us, Ant. No, wait, I'm fairly sure that makes a whole lot of us, as my neighbors all turned their noses and shut their windows when I sprayed the front with the stinky stuff (Liquid Fence). YUCK YUCK YUCK! :32:

Thanks so much, Kacee!! :)
Now you see, the grass is not always so green for us, my dogs see to that, lol. ;) ....we try and keep them from (pottying) the front lawn though.
 
What? no picture if the horns? Squirrels ? my dogs love them , send us some dumb ones.
