| We have a bridge in our driveway. I need to work on the 4 beds at each bridge post. They got way too out of control last year. These are some that I would like to Chelsea chop for height purposes. They overtake the bridge a bit at their full height. |

| Jeepers, I have been standing on my head and leaning sideways. Very nice pictures even if they are a bit up-side-down & side-wards. |

Apologies for those of you struggling with upside down pictures. I have since learned the proper way to take them. Again, these are pictures from years past.
I'm working on a new post re: before and afters from thinning out some of the beds. This weekend I evicted a bunch of corn flowers. I ended up with a 5 foot tall pile of what I had pulled. They self seed like crazy. Deadheading lesson learned.
This long weekend I will be working on the patio bed. See last picture. Having a real problem this year with wild onions and creeping phlox everywhere. I like to see a bit of space in between things. Makes me appreciate each individual plant. |

Thank you all for the kind words. It's a ton of work, but really worth it. In our opinion at least.
Emmamarine we have 2 dogs. Neither have much interest in the garden, although the poodle mix (male) does have an annoying habit of lifting his leg on a few bushes. Fortunately they are not my favorites and don't show signs of suffering (yet).
We feel that it's a little slice of paradise although we fear the day that the cornfield turns into a subdivision. No signs of development anywhere nearby yet but it seems a matter of time.
Show me some far away pictures of your gardens! |

| BBP, can I come hang out on your deck and soak in the view of your gardens?! Beautiful! Thank you for sharing! |

| Hi thyme! Come on over! Actually my parents have a house in Lyme and routinely drive from there to OH. About 11 hours. |

| Goodness, that is gorgeous!! Is that cornflower in your last picture then? (clueless) |
