Thanks for the compliments folks. These are old(before I managed to sort out the grass), but give a general idea.
It certainly keeps me busy!

here's some more....

That garden totally blows away anything I have, Fridge! It is awesome. Do you have a gardener or do you take care of it all by yourself or with your family?

Kares, post anyway. We may not have gardens like Fridge, but that isn't what is important about a garden anyway. Post post post, that's what is important!
Onward and Upward!

Thanks . Yes, it is a nice garden, but it can be a lot of work. To paraphrase someone (who? :wink: ) I take care of hit "all by my own self", though Laura my stepdaughter will occassionally chip in. It would just be too expensive to employ someone else, and theres really no excuse with me having three weeks off at a time.

It wasn't my intention to boast at all when I posted these pics, and you are right, size has nothing to do with how good a garden is. The previous house I had had a much smaller garden which I like just as much.

In fact, I love gardens of all shape and form, so please post pics. If nothing else, it's a good way to get ideas and inspiration for my own....

Well, given that my veggie garden IS the size of a POSTage stamp, perhaps I will POST! :razz: Bah! That was bad. :roll:

Seriously, though Fridge, yez gaaden is gorgeous and I love to look at them too. There's a nice rock garden in front of where I live and given the time in Spring I can post a pic of that too! :)

I can't view pictures at work but I have an inclination of what it might be and we should exchange recipes

But I might be mistaken. :-D

Absolutly freaking awsome landscaping there Fridge and I just love your house too.

Here is a picture of my veggie garden a few years back. I had pole beans growing up my bycicle sculpture. This year I am using putunia's growing out the head and morning glorys winding up around the form.
