You just gotta love Hydrangea's

My hydrandea bush in my backyard
has gotten out of control!
This blue hydrangea bush is just one huge bush.
Apparently it loves my soil.
I love the cottagy look that it gives.
If it keeps growing out into my yard I will have
to trim it back considerably if I want to carry the
trash can around to the front of the yard. Every year
this bush grows bigger and bigger. Maybe I will
trim it back next year to see how much bigger it
grows!
 On the left can you see the purple ice caps Hydrangea
bush. The white heads is a white hydrangea - however
still the blue hydrangea is trying to grow over both of
those bushes. Perhaps I need to just have this garden
for the blue hydrangea's.
I hope that you like my garden pics. Hydrangea's
are beautiful - go plant you some!

This years side Garden

I had to escape from all of this pollen. It just
about killed me. I am up now because today
I came back from the camper. All rested and
I enjoyed the haunts of the thrift stores while
I was there. Surely if I were here I would be
down in the bed. But low and behold my
eyes are burning even as I type this. So I
do not know if I will be going to bed or
not. That is the question! I dislike showing
you my trash cans but what else can I do.
Be sure to look at all of
that yellow green pollen that is
on the lid of the green trash can. The pollen
was horrible this year! It is all over my
front porch and chairs. At the beginning
of Spring it was all over the cars.
My hubby took these pics of my back
side yard. Did you
get the pollen bad this year?
Enjoy the pics!
 A better close-up of my Baby Banks. It is huge and
I just love looking at it through my windows.  I love
how it grows wild and covers my hydrangea bushes.
Just double click and look at the pollen on the trash
can. My hubby cleaned off the blue one because
she was just emptied.
 Do you see some of the purple Wisteria starting
to bloom. The purple and yellow are so pretty
when they bloom almost together. There is always
something blooming in my yard. It is a joy to
watch it from the windows in the Spring.
 The Wisteria is growing in another spot along the
fence as well. I hope in a few years that this area is
full of purple, yellow and blue among the other colors
of the lillies. And just maybe all of that will help
with the growing of that scrawny rose bush that
is located in the corner. I have not
had much luck growing that one.
 I do not know the name of this plant. It was planted
last year in the summer.But it is growing good. My
lillies are getting bigger. Lillies love my yard. I do
not know how it happens but my lilly's grow bigger
and bigger every year! They must love the soil.
Have a great day and thank you for visiting me!

My front yard

is graced with a purplish pink lacecap hydrandea.
 As you can see it has grown out of control. But I cannot
bear to trim it back later on in the season.
 The lovely lacecaps are taking over my steps! There
is one large miss lilly plant that is peeking out from under
her skirt. This summer miss lilly will have to be
replanted next to her kin-folk on the other side of the porch.
 This is just 3 miss lilly plants. In my yard the lillys
grow out of control like everything else does. I used to have
planted here along the row of bricks 'little richards'.
The 'little richards'  grew so fast that in 2 years time
they had to be removed. All of the lilly plants that are
in this front yard 'seen or hidden' lined those 'little richard'
bushes in masses!  The lilly bushes got so huge! 
I got tired of the rows of bushes and decided
that it was time to do something different.  So last year I
decided to lay down this brick with the help of my daughter.
We are not finished. I want the brick to wind around the
side of my house towards the gate where my 'Rose of
Sharon' trees are.
 This is the 3 miss lilly bushes. My neighbor said that
she has never seen such big bushes of lillies.
 Hopefully we can finish the brick and fill it in with
the dirt. Then it will have to be weeded before I
put my little white table and chairs on it. If it doesnt
look good then I will change everything again this
summer.
 The name of this bush has escaped my tongue!
Oh I remember now - its a Jasmin. It
has my miss lilly plants planted all around her legs. The lillies
might not bloom because Jasmin is out of control.
Last year I wrestled with her because she kept trying
to hug my porch.
 My baywindow has seen so many changes that its
not funny. I used to have a large window box that
stretched the entire width of the 3 windows. Whenever
it rained the dirt would splash on my windows so
it is not there any longer. With the window box removed
I planted these 2 trees that are supposed to grow tall
and thin. I cannot remember their names. But one is
dead already and needs replacing this summer. Another
bush 'bit the dust' and it will get replaced also. But with
what I dont know yet. I see that my 'lacecap hydrandea'
is repopulating her species. I will leave it there and see
what happens. The ground of the flower bed is riddled
with pink, white and purple flox. It doesnt take long for
it to grow wild in my yard. Its already growing over
my bricks.
 This little flowerbed is at the end of my porch beside
Jasmin. The pink flowers are pretty.
I hope you like my gardens.

The garden on my side yard

Just like my Azalea bushes - this side of the
garden has not came into bloom yet. There is always
something blooming at different times in my yard. These
are Rose of Sharon trees. Their flowers are very pretty.
It is a hardy plant. So far I havent killed it! There are
3 of them. On the right is a white one. The large green
one on the left is pink. You cannot see the white one because
its behind that tall light green tree. I have no earthly idea
what that tree is that I planted. In fact I dont recall planting
it but every year it grows taller and its growing fast.  I asked
my DH if it was a weed and he said 'no'. 
 The flower bed is packed full
of Shasta Daisys, purple bearded iris, little red roses and
some more lillies. Mother Nature waters my gardens in
the Spring because I cannot always get out here to do so.

 This is what the Rose of Sharon trees look like from
the front of my yard. They are going to need pruning back
if I want to enter in through this side of the yard. I will take more
pics when everything on this side blooms. Which shouldnt be
too much longer.
I hope you like this side.

One of my Gardens

from the side of my yard. The green bush above my
hydrandeas is a Lady Banks. In early spring she blooms
little yellow flowers all over which resemble little roses. She is so
pretty when she blooms. Intermingled here and there
is some purple wisteria. The wisteria is still in her
infancy. I would like for the Lady Banks and the Wisteria
to eventually consume the fence all the way to the front
of the yard.  My soil loves Hydrangeas.
This hydrandea bush is only one bush.
 All of this greenery are different types of plants -
However there are about 4 more different Hydrandeas
planted in this flower bed.
 The plant bed is quite long. There are beared iris, lillies
and some wisteria, along with some other plants
that are buried here. I cannot remember all of
their names.
 Me thinks that the rose bush has seen its better days.
Perhaps this summer I will get rid of it and put something
else in its place.
 I didnt mean to highlight my trash can. Somehow it just
happened that way. Many years ago I bought this iron trellis
for about 80 dollars. Not knowing where I was going to
put it - it just got laid down beside the fence and thats
where it stayed. The next thing that I knew the trash can
got put there. Anyway Lady Banks took hold on it and now
she is heading to the other side. One thing about this
set-up is - if it rains while you are throwing away your garbage
then you can stand under this green parasol and not get
wet!
 These Azalea bushes are located opposite my blue
hydrandea bush and the trash can.
 They bloom white, an old pink and a modern pink.
I see one has died already. Well I will replace it
this summer with some new ones.
 Yep another one 'bit the dust'.
When others start getting their gardens ready for
Spring - then I am stuck indoors trying to sleep
away these allergies! I miss most of the Beauty of
Spring.
It is the summer when I plant anything!
