However I have turned it, i think, into something that is pretty and practical. I have huge patio doors in my living room which gives me a fantastic view of my little garden. I have 3 flower beds, one has shrubs in, one my annual plants and one my veggies. Am growing broad beans, runner beans, courgettes(zucchinis i believe to those over the pond) I also have pots and pots full of further flowering plants, hanging baskets. I did put some pics on my blog a few months ago. Will try and get some more recent ones up. <BR/>MAMad Asthmatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02900631070917123841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-62174894428051523882008-08-04T04:08:00.000-04:002008-08-04T04:08:00.000-04:00geewits: I don't understand how that can happen, e...geewits: I don't understand how that can happen, either.

One flower box has failed twice and one pot is crazy thick and lush and everything else is in between. I don't know how those things stay alive in this heat.geewitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11590044820333720010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-45466313237119285052008-08-03T22:58:00.000-04:002008-08-03T22:58:00.000-04:00Naomi: Unlike you, I don't have any photos of my g...Naomi: Unlike you, I don't have any photos of my garden.

No hanging planters here either, they all sit on the ground.VioletSkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222821877918680480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-21579151533878294832008-08-03T20:17:00.000-04:002008-08-03T20:17:00.000-04:00Citizen: ooh, squash pie is so good!

I can't have hanging plants on my verandah because of the wind... So I have perennials and I do enjoy flowering weeds too.. if they have flowers... I like them...Gwen Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13410235558740636534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-34121649493828494372008-08-03T19:45:00.000-04:002008-08-03T19:45:00.000-04:00I'm loving my graden, although I've let the weedin...I'm loving my graden, although I've let the weeding slide now that it's so hot. In the fall, I'll do some clean-up.

I love the little bits of green it gives here and there. <BR/><BR/>When I had a house, I had a big garden, fruit/veggies, flowers. I loved it and I miss it a lot. But I also know how much care it takes to make it flourish. So now I live vicariously through others :)Cycling Goddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365817168224699607noreply@blogger.com
