A friend of mine has a lovely garden, and I want to share it with you: She's got a lovely pond with fish and water plants: These are mini-coniferae: She's very fond of holly: The space for each Hosta is measured out, so each plant will be able to grow to their full potential without disturbing the neighbouring plants: Her collection of dwarf trees is very big: A view of one of her borders: The mini-ivy is so small it almost disappears: Is that Frank, I wonder?
OH! Droopy :-D how very beautiful - both your friend's garden and your photos of it. You were most kind to share it with us, thank you - and please extend my compliments and thanks to your friend.
Will do, zuzu, and thank you. Both her husband and her son are enthusiastical gardeners and collectors in different fields, so there are lots of new things to admire every year.
Quite a beautiful garden Droopy, thank you for sharing it with us. Gorgeous mix of colours in the border. Will you also pass on my glowing praise to your talented friend? Thanks! BTW jag vet inte vem den där tomten är (sorry for my poor Swedish : I just said I don't know who the gnome is)
Your Swedish is good, Frank! The gnome is the husband's. My friend is trying her best to break it several times per year, but has not succeeded so far. I've got lots more photos of that garden. It's a veritable smorgasbord for us garden-o-holics, I tell you.
Anybody for German? Since we had Swedish, how 'bout some German? Der Garten Deines Freundes is sehr schön, Droopy. Bei uns in West Texas ist es viel zu warm für solche Pflanzen. Wir haben nur selten Wolken.
Ja, natürlich. Aber hier gibt es viel Regen und Wolken, so kein Problem. Wir haben auch eine Freundin die jedes Jahr Deutsche Freunde an Besuch in ihre Garten hat. Mein Gramatik ist sehr schlecht, aber ich spreche ganz gut Deutsch.
Deutsch An Texas Tech Universität habe ich als Magister-student Deutsch unterrichtet. Da habe ich so viel gelernt. Ich habe eigentlich mein eigenes Deutschtextbuch geschrieben, aber habe nichts damit gemacht. Eines Tages werde ich versuchen, es zu veröffentlichen. Bis dann spiele ich im Garten, arbeite im Büro und versuche der beste Vater wie möglich zu werden. Ich habe 1983 meinen Magister gemacht, aber bin danach in die Jurafakultät gegangen und 1986 bin Rechtsanwalt geworden. Seit 1987 bin ich Unterstaatsanwalt in diesem Verwaltungsbezirk.
Please tell your friend that her garden is absolutely wonderful Droopy. So much to see and so many gorgeous plants. I hope you're going to post more piccies so that I can drool a bit more!! :-D
Re: Deutsch Ich bin ganz imponiert! Gute Glück mit Ihren Buch. Vielleicht sollen wir Englisch schreiben, weil andere Leute im GardenStew vielleicht kein Deutsch haben?
eileen and Netty, thank you! Of course I can post more photos, but not now. It's the middle of the night here, and I need my beauty sleep. (No, I'm not going into hibernation, don't worry.)
WtxDaddy-I can read German but wouldn't attempt to write in German! German was my first language but I'm REALLY rusty!
