I thought I'd post pics of my garden looking at it from the yard. You always get to see the close ups of just the plants/flowers, but I've never posted from a 'view' perspective before. So here they are:

The West side of my house, which is the front.


from another angle.


The South side, which is the side.


The East side, which is the back.


from another angle.


The North side is just drive way and garage so I didn't bother posting that. No plants there yet, sometimes I put a planter next to the garage, but if I'm lazy I may not bother this year.

I'll try to remember to post more shots once the flowers start blooming.

You've got a lovely home! If I'm correct you've got the border all around your house except from the north side? It looks so nice and planned.

Thank you for the perspective shots. It´s easy to orient oneself when you are showing and describing the plants that you post. It looks like a very nice set-up there with lots of pössibilities, Can+t wait to see the blooms when they start.
Thanks again.

You have a lovely property with lots of planting space. I envy you your veranda to sit out on. Now when you tell us that a plant is on the east, west or whatever then we'll know exactly where you mean and will be able to picture it.

Yes, Droopy there is a border. It paver stones. It was well planned, but unfortunately not by me. I did hire a landscaper to come in and he put in the walk way and the garden area. He also planted the tree plants and I've added to it over the years. Actually, I'm still adding and moving stuff all the time.

We had it put in the same year I was pregnant with DD#2 who is now 4, so I wasn't in much shape for gardening at the time. I had a delicate pregnancy and wasn't allowed to do much. But it all worked out, as I'm sure it would not be as beautiful. I had created a small garden on the back side myself when we built the house and it was ok, but when the landscaper came in and improved it, it was much better.

Now I know more, at least I like to say that, and I'm hoping my new space out back in the spring will be as nice. I'm sure when we get started I'll be posting it as we move along. I'll be starting it later in the summer and hopefully filling it up in the spring.

Thank you all for the nice comments.

Eileen, the porch is my favorite place to sit especially when the lilacs are blooming.
