Random Garden Photos..

It has been just wonderful gardening weather these last few days. Even with waking to two mornings of a dusting of frost the garden is holding it's own. Yesterday I spent the entire day working on my 'Rock' Garden. It is my hope that all of these little areas surrounded by rock will be filled in come late Spring of 2010.
Various types of Sedum have been used. The container at the bottom to the left has been planted with 5 Tulip bulbs. I purchased them and put them in the freezer for 9 weeks. Ah, to have Tulips in Florida!
Firebush, Pineapple Sage and Forget-Me-Nots.
Salvia
My 'Famous' Grill.
Diamond Frost Euphorbia cascading out of the tipsy planter. The one around the mailbox is much larger than this one. Diamond Frost has been known to survive our winters....we will see.
Petunias, Melampodium and Snapdragons.
Guara
Clematis
The Impatiens dotted throughout the yard are doing quite well. This one is almost as tall as the back of the bench.
Painted Lady Hibiscus....I highly recommend this one. It has been a performer all summer.
4 hanging containers of Petunias and Alyssum.
I also have 4 Cleome blooming and little ones sprouting all over the garden. The blue in the background is the Forget-Me-Nots.

I hope the rest of your weekend is beautiful!!

Photos taken this morning.

Your rock garden will be great. I can just see all of the sedums spilling out of it. That Diamond Frost is so awesome!

Okay, now it's my turn to be green with envy.

Hi Darla, I love your rock garden. Do you have semps planted there also??? They LOVE rocks and will grow all around them --and "ON" them!!!! ha

All of your flowers are gorgeous.

Hi Darla, it is all looking good and will surely be filled in to give you the rock garden of your dreams by next spring. Your flowers are so pleasing to see now, they are still so summery and bright. Loved the big kid guitar star! We had some video gaming by the big kids here too. Hope your holidays were filled with joy.

Darla, this is the first time I see your grill! Fantastic!

Corner Gardener Sue said...

I enjoyed seeing what's going on in your garden. Your grill looks like a face. The knobs look like eyes and a nose. Of course the grass looks like hair, and the mouth looks like it has food and a tongue sticking out. Did you do that on purpose, or did you not even notice that? Well, it's looking good, just like the rest of your plants. I look forward to seeing your rock area when it fills out.

Catherine@AGardenerinProgress said...

I'm sure it will be filled in by Spring and looking great. I can't believe you've had two frosts and still have so much blooming! Lucky you :)

Dani said...

I love the grill Darla! Makes me wish I hadn't tossed mine.lol

George said...

Your garden is still beautiful -- I'm jealous. You had a great idea to get tulips in Florida. I hope it works.

Ginger said...

Love your grill!!!

I love the garden sectioned off with rocks. Can't wait to see it filled in. By the way I think the grill has 'class'. Have a good day.

Great photos, love to see all of the wonderful colors. Here in Seattle the only colors are brown and brown. Very pretty.
