When I look at the pic it does have distinctive stripes. Maybe it wasn't mislabeled after all

I'm really wanting to see more action on this forum so thought I'd do some catching up on last year's pictures...

Last year was a year of heat and not much rain. When I look back the pictures were all taken early in the season. Guess that is good so I don't remember the times when everything was all dried up

Today is the first time I have uploaded multiple pictures. Seems pretty easy! Hosta row on the east side of the house.

Fooled Me

I just like this picture

Sorry looks like I duplicated a few pictures. Hope some of the rest of last year's posters and some new folks will get on board with some garden tours.

Thanks for posting these, Veronica. It's so nice to see blooms in this season, even if they are last year's photos.

I'm hoping for lots of blooms this year...I had thought I would give up gardening but that is something I can't do. Just thinking about it makes me happy

Lovely calm spots

Sorry about the above post..Trying to get a picture on and regrettably have forgotten my instructions...LOL Glad to have strictly garden related website to log onto.

Veronica, I am most impressed by your garden. It's lovely. How nice it must be to wake to such beauty. Lee

Thanks, kevin!

Some pictures from this summer.

I made this planter out of a 70's lamp

My first foxgloves "Pam's Choice"

Some caterpillars have completely eaten this. It was once very pretty.

nice FoxGloves

Oh my gosh, the 70's lamp made into a planter is wonderful!! I luv that! Why have you not posted this on the Garden Art thread, Veronica? Or maybe you have and I missed it. Terrific idea. Your gardens are beautiful and these shots are somewhat different from the Cottage Gardens forum. I'd post over here but my I am only two years into redoing this 45 year old yard and it isn't anything special like the ones I see here. So I'll just enjoy these. All are so big and beautiful!! Lovely!

But now I'm gonna hunt for old floor lamps at yard sales and thrift stores. I'm smitten.

Thanks Tee.. I saw a lamp in one of the gardening magazines and used it for the inspiration..I couldn't believe my luck when I found this lamp soon after reading the article..It was fun to make and since I am not crafty was quite a chalenge..

Well, my dear, it appears to me you are VERY crafty!!

Thanks.. Never thought I was but am getting more inspired every day by all you crafters on ATP

So many craft projects, so little time.

The color of that lamp is just perfect!
