~Around theYard~
Come take a walk with me and I'll show you what's blooming around our yard.
These pictures were all taken early this morning with the sun behind me.
I found this cute little feeder the other day at the nursery and had to have it. I have no idea how my name popped up twice in this pic!
This was the top of a birdbath that I had for years and after it broke I kept the top part of it. I love the rusty patina it developed.
This next pic is the garden on the side our house. When we bought this house this area was all grass and my hubby came up with this design. We had the guy that does all our mason work add belgium block at the top near the property line. We did the rest. The three large bushes on the top that have not fully bloomed are crepe myrtles. My husband loves them. Here in the northeast we can only grow them as bushes, but we're happy with that! We have more on our pool deck, with red leaves.
This is the area at the top part of our side garden, in the front of the house. I am so glad the developers that built this development left a lot of trees and didn't cut them all down when building the houses.
By mid-summer the mums fill in all around this tree, to the point where you can't see the mulch anymore. It looks so pretty.
Thanks so much for coming along! Now we can go inside to cool off and have a glass of iced tea:)

Your yard just looks so lovely. I planted a hosta this year but I don't know how well it will do here in Southern California, yours look so lush. Thank you so much for sharing your yard.

Your yard is so pretty, Martina! It's lush & green already. Thanks for taking us on a tour.
I would love to see all your mums in the fall. I can't seem to get a mum to come back around here. Every fall I buy them, plant them, and then the following year, I get nothing at all!
Martina, I enjoyed your garden tour!~I think it is lovely!!
Oh Martina...your garden is so beautiful! I know you must love it!
Your yard is stunning Martina! I can't get over how pretty your landscape is.
BEAUTIFUL!
You have a beatiful garden, Martina. My daughter needs to get some trees planted on her property ~ back and front. The previous {and original owners} just did plantings near the house and that's about it. I'm heading to Lowe's in the morning to get my hydrangeas. Now that I'm back from my visit to NY I can get them in and make sure they are taken care of.
What a wonderful way to start my morning, looking at all that beauty..
Your yard is a joy to behold.
You have such a beautifully landscaped yard. Love it.
Hi Martina,

Gorgeous, gorgeous yard, Martina! I love everything you've done and, of course, have yard envy!
What an absolutely gorgeous backyard. Everything looks beautiful. I love the new bird feeder.
So pretty! It's like a park setting, just wonderful.
Lovely! Thanks for sharing!
You have a beautiful garden area. I love the big boulders to break up the mulched areas. I actually don't have any crepe myrtles. I'm going to check them out at the nursery.
Martina, your garden space is lovely. I can just imagine how pretty it is under the tress when things are in bloom. Thanks for sharing.
Just gorgeous-when I grow up I want neat borders like yours.
All your garden photos are beautiful.
It is all so lush and green...just striking.
What a gorgeous yard you've created, I bet you thoroughly enjoy every bit of it!
I love the pictures of your yard! Found you at the Picket fence party. I too love to work in the yard!

Thanks for the tea, but I'm coming back in the fall to see the mums. I'll want tea then too.

All of these elements make up the structure of your project.
1 other aspect that you simply'll must look at when drawing up programs for landscaping and garden designs could be the good quality of soil that you have all around. It is actually a perfect combination of science and art.
