Sheryl not to get off this subject, but I do love you steps. I want to redo my steps and pavers in the front of my house. Is that limestone with brick?

Oh I love gardening! I do mostly flowers, but have strawberries, raspberries, and usually do tomatoes too. I have some pics of my flower gardens from last year online at: http://parenthood.dropshots.com/Tinkersweb in case anyone would like to see them!
I have only lived here one full summer, so got started on my perrennial garden just last year. I plan to add to it a bit every year until it's a flowery yard befitting a grandma.

Tink your pictures are beautiful!!  We started a perrennial garden about a year after building our house. Every year we take pics and it's amazing how fast everything has grown. (on one side of our house is a long slope. Not very easy or safe to mow if grass was there, so we planted bushes and perrennials instead.)

Thanks Sheryl!
I agree mowing a slope is too much like work. It's also dangerous! I have an uncle who cut his big toe off when his mower rolled back over his foot.  I bet your slope looks prettier with flowers and shrubs on it anyway! I absolutely love a casual cottage type lawn filled with plants.

I love gardening and working in my yard. We haven't had a garden four about 4 years now, but with watching what I eat and the prices in the grocery, I'm thinking of planting a garden this year. I always planted sweetcorn, greenbeans, peas, broccoli, cauliflower, radishes, carrotts, leaf lettuce, and green onions. I use to love going out there early of a morning, after the dew dries and weed and just do my thinking out there. I love planting flowers and have a flower bed on the south side of the house. On the north end, we planted a few evergreens that are really taking off. Now we just need to make things pretty with some chips or stone or something. Maybe that is something my son and I can start on, on spring break. Oh you guys have really gotten me in the mood.

Grow Grow Grow
Well, I planted all the herbs I got today except for one of the two pots of basil. I could have sworn I got Rosemary but well I didn't....After I made the tags and went to go stick it in the ground I then realized I didn't even have the plant yet. LOL
 I think this spring fever is affecting my brain.  So, now my herb garden is itty bitty but it will be fun to watch it grow. I've still got other pots to plant yet but waiting for that nursery to stock up on their herbs. When everyone's garden get's to blooming don't forget to post their pics!

Best of luck to you Sheryl - and all you other gardeners! The only thing I seem to get to grow around my house are the boys! Oldest is close to 6 feet now with size 13 feet - he's just about through growing so I don't have to keep him in the sun as much but I DO need to keep the food flowing. The youngest is about to hit a "spurt" - requiring lots of sunshine, TONS of food - he's as tall as me now but by end of summer, I imagine my youngest "sprout" will be taller.
Can't wait to see pics of all your gardens!!! I would post pics of mine but just find some weeds and you'll know what it looks like
