Certain perennials spread like wildfire and need to be contained. I add a few annuals for color, and to help keep the bugs away from my veggies etc. in particular marigolds. Every year I thin out plants and give them away. I have spent the last 15 years at my present home planting perennial beds so that it is less work and that something is usually in bloom. I also use mulch. I have included 2 spring pics from the front yard, last spring. My gardens start from the mailbox and go up and around the back of the house. I also have fruit trees, berries, vegetable and asparagus gardens. All on one acre. I am putting in a small 125 gal. pond and a new garden this year. You are more than welcome to come and visit and take some plants home. |
I agree...it's beautiful!
What is the white ground cover in the front of picture #1 and also the lavender seen further in the picture? I believe Hot Rod's Mom has it in her garden pic also. I've been wanting something similar but have no idea what it is...LOL! Thanks!
