In our backyard we have a cement patio with low blocks surrounding it and flower beds around it.... This is the area where we sit and relax at night after my husband gets finished with work. He will get to retire next year. I wish I could take a picture of the everything at once but our trees are so large now, it blocks the view. In the right back corner I have a pergola where I hang all of my bird feeders. This gives my Baltimore Orioles some privacy because I feed them close to the patio. Container gardening...

Don't let my sister in law see all those lovely containers... she'll have to go back to work to afford more plants and planters! They are very pretty and delightful.
Those are beautiful! I would love to see the whole planter from picture #4, the white one with the purple Petunia's and Vinca. I love container gardens but I have had to limit myself to just a few. I am so busy with the kids and soccer after work that I just don't have the time to water!
You have such excellent planting skills, Sherry. Fantastic collection of containers and planted beauties.
Now that we moved and just had a driveway (cement) put in we are still in the process of making our yard...Most likely I will only have 4 containers this summer, just way too busy.... but watch out next summer. I gave all of my huge containers away, I put them by the side of the road and within half an hour they were all taken. I did keep my tall tan ones, those will be sold once I quit gardening. This has been the hardest year when I walk through the plants for sale, I love everything but have to cut back because we just don't have as big of a place to garden....learning that retirement means less of everything...and then we can spend more time fishing...
Your container garden is just gorgeous. I'm sorry you don't have it any more but you're obviously a very accomplished gardener so i just know you'll do amazing things with the house you have now! I can't wait to see pictures of next year's container garden!!!
