Mess???? what mess???? I think it all looks lovely! I like your kind of messes...I think Cathy said it for me!
thanks for linking in girl. I love seeing all that you have done this year. That grill makes me smile!
Good gracious at the blooms you have! Wish we had all that going on!--Randy
Your flowers are all so beautiful, Darla. I could wander around your lovely garden for hours enjoying them...
Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend :D
Darla, even your messes are beautiful!!! Enjoyed the tour of your yard. Love the Hibiscus!
Gorgeous Darla! I can't believe it's August 7th either. My daughter and her family are moving into their new house today. I'm not sure but I think they might be near you.
Yours 'messes' all look pretty good with all the textures. I especially like the sweet potato vine mess. Your grill still looks good. We just disposed of one here but before I took it away I took off the top part and plan to do something with it. Maybe a sedum garden or a pond garden. Haven't figured it out but the grills are great pots in the garden. Yours fits right in.
Your crepe myrtle is pretty. Wish I could grow it up here.

Your "messes" look pretty darn nice to me!!! I'll be over in 5 minutes for that pear pie! LOL!!
Pear pie - I have never tried. Sounds so good - I love pears. Your messes even look good. Everything is looking good at your place.
I love all your messes Darla. I think they all look great tho. My bed just look like a bunch of weeds thrown in together!
Love the Painted Lady hibiscus.
Love your mess!!! Those hibiscus are great, esp the Painted Lady.
I didn't see any aliens running aroung just what I would call lovely flower mass in every direction.

First, I love all of your messes. I could be so lucky. And your daylily is so frilly - I've never seen one like that. The Hibiscus are beautiful.
Well, now I know just what I have to do - go make more messes!!!
Your blooms are beautiful and your messes are just as pleasing. The bbq is a great idea. Just what I keep looking for - new ideas.
Gorgeous blooms ... sure wish I had that kind of mess!
I wish my messes looked like your messes! :) I also wish my pear trees had held on to it's pears through one of the many wind storms that took them all off the trees.

It's so pretty! I don't see a mess at all. I love the angel on top of the arbor.
You have been busy with all of those pears, you're family must love it!
Love the Hibiscus!!
ha ha...love the pictures titled 'mess' I feel that way sometimes, too. Your gardens are always beautiful! Have a great weekend!

Looks good! Have a great weekend!
Darla: Absolutly beautiful blooms.
Hi Darla, I'm catching up on your blog. Your bathroom is looking GREAT. I know it has been a BIG job...
Love the flowers/plants. I thought of you when we drove through your area. We're home from a great vacation.. I'll post in the morning.
Hugs,
Betsy
I don't see mess, I see profusion!
I'm very impressed with your 'messes' -- I would like to have some messes like those in our yard. I'm also impressed with painting you're doing. The results are great.
HA Darla, your messes are perfectly wonderful! Lush gardens full of vigor. How nice that all the cutting back has resulted in so many new blooms. The Datura looks especially fab! :-)

It's a lovely mess and look at your Raspberry Blast! I didn't cut mine back and probably won't but good to know that you can. I need to fertilize mine---it really likes that and will bloom like crazy when given a good dose of MG.
Darla!!! I rooted some sweet potato vine--and it did root in two days---ahhhhh....it's a new cultivar from PW and it's bootfiul. Why I never thought of that before is beyond me. Now I'll have lots like you. I've got black and lime green.
Love your flowers, including the messy ones! White butterfly bush is more appealing to me than a blue one. All in all, very colorful garden, Darla!
Wonderful summer Blooms... thank you for sharing its glory with us!
I love your garden and the beautiful blooms! You would be so at home with my Benign Garden style...we are kindred spirits as Anne of Green Gables would say! I was not the nutty gardener that sent you those seeds...but they sure look like Kopper King hibiscus or a close cousin! ...Thanks for the publicity and link!
