So, we all like showing off our gardens. Sometimes, at least for me, I want to share a photo or two but I don't want to make an entirely new thread for it. That's why I created this. This can be a place where we all can share our gardens on any given day, or every day. Photos, videos, whatever you'd like to share. I created a similar thread over on the pond forum and it's gone well. I'll start it out.

My Blanket Flower is just about to bloom. I grow quite a few of these around my yard, and it should look great when they're all blooming!

I also have a short video of my mostly-native wildflower garden which is entering its first full year. Most plants are seedlings, so it'll take another season before many of the plants bloom.

Your blanket flower is stunning JB. I'm always inspired on this forum. I've grown it individually but now I'm sure I have just the right area for blanket of them. Thanks for sharing.

That's a great idea for a thread, JBtheExplorer:D I'll take a picture of my miniature roses as soon as I come back home (right now, I'm at my parents').
Your Blanket Flower is beautiful!

I don't have much room here in town but I did what I could to create a little spot of color out my back door. Our first attempt at landscaping. It isn't done yet but we now have a sunny spot to spruce up the view.

Thank you. Still deciding what else to put in and around it. I will update when it is done.

I say native plants! (y) Can't go wrong with Purple Coneflowers and Asclepias Tuberosa!

It's a great beginning. You're doing a really good job:) If I were you, I'd plant some miniature roses there. Roses are my obsession and I always plant them everywhere I can:D

here is my vegetable garden pictures taken today.

Here are my recent blooms:

The first is a plant native to the US called Blue-Eyed Grass. There are many kinds, but this one is one of the more popular types for gardens. I highly recommend it!

Here's an Iris. I'm not sure what it is, but I think it's a white Siberian iris.

Cactus Grower, Kent.

Looking good everyone :)

Not much to see on the plot at the moment but with the rain and warmer weather things should get away now:)

Finished, maybe.JPG Lilies and Roses.JPGPut in a few new flowers and a rose bush. Not sure if I'm done now or not. I may get a strange notion and expand further.
