I just updated some of my flower garden pictures on my Expressions Page,

if anyone is interested. For some reason, a lot of the flowers seem to be slow in blooming

this year. But, some are gorgeous. I will keep updating them. Enjoy all!

Love,Jeanne

Jan, I hope your lily's bloom soon. Mine are getting about done here.

But, they are so pretty!

    Thank you!
    Thank you Margo. I do work hard in them, but, I love them. I shouldn't work as hard as I do in them, as, I was warned by my doctor not to. But, I just can't help myself. I just load up on Ibuprofen or pain pills if it gets bad. And, take lots of breaks. lol ( or, a nap hehe )

    Thanks again! Love, Jeanne

    Oh I do too. They've just sent up a stalk so it'll be a while. I think pretty much all of Canada had a cool spring this year so our stuff is a little later than usual. Visited your pics, they are so pretty, you're like a proud mother :)

    Your flowers are beautiful
    I love flowers. Along with my pup, they are my therapy.

    I have a small yard and I have converted the entire front yard to a garden. Then I dug up the dirt along the driveway and put in a garden there. One of my neighbors once said, "You must really hate grass."

    My flowers are slow in blooming this year and they didn't seem to last as long as in years past. It's been a very cold summer in MI, but I was determined to work in my gardens after 3 summers of neglect.

    Nice job, Jeanne.

    Flowers :)
    Flowers do take a lot of time and a lot of patience. But, I love working in them. I find it is good therapy. I can lose myself or forget about a bad day when I go outside and work in them. And, I used to get a great tan while working in them, but, have to be careful now since I just finished rads. Dang it! lol

    Thanks for the compliments ladies!

    Love, Jeanne

    Your gardens and your home are beautiful. I have one little garden and it is full of weeds. I need to work in it I guess. You have inspired me!

    Wow....
    love your gardens!! I have not done a thing this year. I need to plant so bad, but everything I try....the deer eat!! I have even put the clippings from my husband's haircuts sprinkled out there. I heard deer will not come around if they smell humans. I think they even called their friends over because this did not stop them!! The only thing that lasted this year was my yuka plants. Then the blooms didn't stay very long. Any ideas what to plant that deer won't eat? :) Pammy

    Thanks Pammy!
    There are a few plants that I have been told are kind of deer proof. You might try just one plant to start with and see what happens. A couple are monarda, russian sage and purple coneflowers. I have a lot of coneflowers in different colors. They are beautiful when grouped together. Also, I don't think deer like ornamental grasses. I have a garden of ornamental grasses that I haven't posted yet, but, I will. The grass is gorgeous when it is tall and blows in the wind. You might try some of those and just see! Good luck hon!

    Love, Jeanne

    I love the ornamental grasses!!
    I planted gorgous ones out front called "purple fountains". The were beautiful and grew about 6 ft tall and 6 ft wide. Was so happy I would have something come up every year. I followed the instructions on cutting them back late fall and quess what....nothing the following year! Everyone I know doesn't cut theirs back till early spring. But I didn't know this at the time. Now for 2 years I have not seen them in again. Maybe I'll pick some other ones out. Thanks for the tip. :) Pammy
