Superb Sunshine

has arrived today and so I thought I would take advantage of the beautiful natural light to show a bit of my gardens ...

This is in the back of the house and we call this the "Island" ~ it is a raised garden surrounded by old bricks.  I like all of the gardens to have some type of border that keeps them from having the grass growing into them.  The island is filled with Jonquils that will be blooming in a few weeks.




The ground cover planted all around the lower edge is Red Sedum and gets little flowers late in the summer.

 

The English Daisies are already blooming and my Bleeding Heart is just peeking through the soil :)


I like having decor in my garden too and this old garden gate helps to support the Balloon Flowers that will be out in a few months.



This is one of the gardens along side of our driveway ~ right now there are Daffodils, Hyacinth and a few Crocus blooming and the green ground cover is Flox that is almost ready to pop and it is really beautiful when it is in full bloom.



This is the walkway to the front door ~ more Red Sedum, Lavendar, Tulips, Iris, Flox with more to bloom.



I hope you enjoyed the little walk through some of the gardens here on Magnolia Lane. 

 I am excited to start planting the vegetables I am getting from Hometown Seeds here...

It's wonderful! I love all the little areas & the touches you've added. Still snow here, but I'm enjoying "gardening" with Judi!!!
Hugs,

Isn't this an exciting time in the garden?! Everything is starting to burst out of the ground and I don't want to miss a bit of it! You've got nice big patches of jonquils. They're going to look amazing when they bloom! Share some pictures when they bloom please!

What beautiful garden beds you have. Are there "eggs" blooming too, in your front walkway? So cute.
Have a wonderful Easter.

Lovely! So much to look forward to. Enjoy! We are having beautiful weather today but soon it will be too hot to venture out doors and the dust storms will return. They are predicting that the summer will be mostly dusty. Thank goodness I'll be in the States for part of it. Many blessings, Tammy

What a beautiful yard!

I may be an ol' desert rat, but I sure do love to see the plants others can grow. That gate is really a unique touch.

Hello Judi,
Love your garden and flower beds. I hope you will share more pictures when they are in full bloom.

Do you know if there is anything to keep the squirrels and rabbits of the flowers and flower beds. I had abandon my flower beds because the squirrels and rabbits ate everything that I planted.
