Patio Gardening Results

Patio Garden created in pots and baskets. Was going to title this "...and the living is easy", but we gardeners know better.

It may not be easy but it is a good life , sitting on the patio and getting to enjoy all your hard work.

"Inviting" , relaxing, comfortable.
Landscaping, plants, seating....all comes together.
Enjoy.

Light is the shadow of God!

I didn't see this until this morning. When I first looked I tried to put adequate words to my thoughts & feelings. I had just come in from outdoor chores with a temperature of 19*F and winds of 15+ mph when I logged on to NGA. Then with hot coffee and warming hands my impressions began to sink in. When I saw the words, "...and the living is easy", I knew at once this idyllic scene was a work of thoughtfulness, planning, coordination, art and careful labor! The lush foliage makes a perfect background for all the enticing colors.

I can well imagine myself relaxing in this serene spot on a hot July day with iced beverage in hand. And there appears to be plenty of comfortable seating. Well done Fleur!

Really nice. And great to see a garden from a different perspective. Your patio looks very inviting!

Your great comments and suggestions on the banner were all delightful. Thank you for taking the time to respond so positively, give me the thumbs and generous acorns. This was just putting a little bit of a different spin on the subject matter of the banner. Glad you approved. 🏡 The gate to my garden is always open.
