Country Garden

Country Gardening with lots of challenges.
My garden looking out toward the neighbors house. Gardening here is a challenge since the soil is very heavy clay. We are at the lowest spot in town so it stays wet until at least the end of June. We can generally count on snow by October. Not to mention that several of our closest neighbors to the right, do NOTHING about their weeds and animals, (Including cattle!) coming in and doing their business in my yard and trampling my flowers. But I'm trying.

backyard shade garden

This completes the walk
through our Garden.
I hope, you enjoyed it as much as I liked it to share.
A higher resolution would show more detail, but still, the different textures and shades of maroon & green makes it somewhat interesting. Maybe next year, my health will allow me to garden again as I used to. Just say a little prayer for me, thanks.

Backyard Retreat

The patio is on the right and is where I love to sit with a cup of coffee in the morning and try to resist the urge to weed.

While sitting on this patio, my husband and I have seen more wildlife on the hill behind our house than I could ever have imagined. It's a wonderful spot to view Nature at her best.

Gardener Heal Thyself
I enjoy learning about and growing plants that have historically been used for ceremonies, for healing, or for dying fibres. I recently dedicated a portion of the garden to these interesting plants.
Back row - left to right are: Chives, Lady's Bedstraw, White Sage
Front row - left to right are: Sweet Grass, Heal All, Mint

August Backyard Garden
by Celia
(Mississauga, ON, Canada)
My pride and joy, win or not
Had these beds for several years. The foreground bed used to be a strawberry garden where now, the mix of perennials (includes irises in back), herb (oregano, at left) and annuals, reduces planting to a minimum, as I am now 71 yrs old and been gardening for 30 yrs. The plant in front of the sedum is the Poinsettia plant we've had since Christmas of 2007.

Our Garden Shed
by Christa Krueger
(Kingston,Ontario,Canada)
garden shed
This is our work area -
seeding trays, transplanting
seedlings, potting containers -most important - using rain water to hand water everything that needs a drink. We have 3 barrels & 4 lg. water containers, that we fill only with tap water, if no rain fell. Never use a hose.These containers & barrels empty within a day, mostly for container gardening. This year, I used the containers for Carrots, Cucumbers & Tomatoes, as well as my seeded Geraniums, which I grew from seeds saved last fall.

COURTYARD GARDEN
by Noel B. Catto
(Sandy, Utah)
Courtyard Garden
I enjoy creating garden scenes. The hardscaping must be planned first. 80% of this photo is hardscape design, 20% is plant material. I strongly support complete master planning before any landscaping is started. This small expenditure saves thousands in the long run.
