They will be ever so happy next year. Your clematis especially tugged at my heart, but then I am a sucker for them. They are touchy creatures for me - but I keep after them. Enjoy your fall gardening - always my favorite time in the garden.Sandra at Maison De Jardinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032615112624122716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939564730750190269.post-22718413165635662742022-08-24T17:27:12.655-04:002022-08-24T17:27:12.655-04:00Thank you, Erica!Thank you, Erica!Rita C at Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351306074493103021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939564730750190269.post-65869475771801557482022-08-22T06:07:12.601-04:002022-08-22T06:07:12.601-04:00Such an adorable house and I love that little grav...Such an adorable house and I love that little gravel patio!

I'm just not diligent enough in my care. It's too hot and humid, and the sun has scorched everything within an inch of its life this year. When I see how pretty all of your plants are, I know I'm barking up the wrong tree. I need to stick with indoor stuff!😁<br /><br />I love the way you used that bright red table to draw the eye to that area and then made it all work with those pillows having a bit of red in them. Really slick! I love the bold of the red against the cool of the blue.<br /><br />I'm so glad you're enjoying your new home and exploring what all you can do to make it fabulous!

We don't get enough sun on our patio to really grow any flowers, but the landscapers in our community do such a good job and we can at least see the beautiful shrubs and flowers from our spot. I have moved to very realistic faux plants...so real, neighbors visiting asked if they needed to water the geranium while we were away! Your little visitor is adorable !

How fun to see how your new garden grows! You’ve unearthed and discovered some wonderful specimens in garden. Our neighbors have a beautyberry bush that I always admire and tell myself I need to plant one, then promptly forget. It's aptly named, the berries are so gorgeous, they look almost artificial. Your clematis looks a lot like our ‘Diamantina’. In addition to being pretty, it blooms for a good long time. Can you believe I have never seen a Zebra Swallowtail? What a beautiful butterfly! I had to google the host plant, the pawpaw tree, which is native to NC but we must not have any nearby.<br /> I adore bistro set with your Big Lot (*gasp*) chairs. I can attest to how well Thermacell works, my hubby has two that he takes with him on fishing trips and we use them by the lake when there isn’t a breeze to keep the mosquitos away. Baby J is adorable…so sweet cuddling with the gardening bear. ♥<br />Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398643098588491009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939564730750190269.post-42718884539162376312022-07-25T16:02:20.331-04:002022-07-25T16:02:20.331-04:00There is nothing i enjoy more than seeing someone&...There is nothing i enjoy more than seeing someone's garden - BUT I do not enjoy gardening - LOL.

And everything is looking lovely and healthy. Over the 25 years we've been in this house our trees (which were here long before the house was built) have grown ever taller and more robust. They are really gorgeous and provide welcome shade, privacy and noise abatement. But they are a challenge to garden under and around, sigh....Sandra @ Dinner at Eighthttps://cometodinnerat8.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939564730750190269.post-80825743590845276502022-07-24T22:31:31.513-04:002022-07-24T22:31:31.513-04:00First off Jacqueline is absolutely precious!

I've tried so many times to grow hydrangeas but they never bloom beyond what they have on them initially when I put them in the ground. I can grow me some hefty weeds though! ;) The statue with the sunglasses is fantastic! I would have never thought to do that but it's hilarious! Please keep sharing your garden.

You've done an amazing job in such a short time. I'm looking forward to following along as you make this house and it's surroundings your own. Going through your pictures for the umpteenth time makes me miss gardening so much. (My knees just couldn't take it anymore.). But I do have to say that the prettiest little flower in your garden is Baby J. What a doll she is! Thanks for sharing Rita. Your post has brightened my day!
