Guest guest Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Hi Jo That sounds so beautiful and quite peaceful! What an ideal place to relax and enjoy nature. Let's see, my garden is spread out all over the place whereever I can find room. And it is not quite as serene as yours sounds. When you walk out the back door onto the deck you are facing North, if you continued down the stairs there is a stone path across the yard to the pool deck. To the right (east) of the path is the side of the garage. Along there is a built up patch where I planted my tomatoes last year. This year I took out a part of the patch to try a raspberry bush again. There are a few different bushes surrounding the sides of the pool deck which is in the far right side of the yard (northeast corner). The pool is an above ground pool, but when the previous owners put it in, they dug it to be mainly below ground. Which is very nice because then you do not have this very tall eyesore in the backyard. The pool deck runs about halfway around the pool in the yard side. Along the neighbor (east) and easement (north) side is another stone path and I have some beautiful trees and bushes on the backside of the pool along with a cage for strawberries. Behind the pool is all fenced in. Continuing along the back end of the yard is the shed (still north). From the stone path behind the pool you can either go behind the shed where there is a tiny walkway, through a small gate into the main garden (northeast corner)or you can go out another small gate to the front of the shed into the yard. If you continue to the main garden this is all fenced in and where I have the bulk of my veggies, some container plants in shelves built into the shed and my compost. Next to the fenced in garden is a smaller patch (west) for some veggies and next to that is another box for strawberries. We also have another box of strawberries next to the pool deck. Along the house side of the yard (south) next to the main deck is a couple of bushes and a crab-apple tree. The yard itself has a wooden privacy fence, but please do not lean on it as it might fall. This year in the eastment (this is the patch of grass that runs along behind everyones fences/yards that seperates the properties), I have two new little spots for more flowers this year. Oh and there is another container box at the shed by where you leave the main garden that holds my smaller plants like lettuce, spinach and asparagus. And that is about the extent of it. It sounds much larger than it is. Perhaps on his next visit, your son will not forget to use his camera and he can bring you back some pics. Who else would like to share their gardens? I would love to read about them. BB Nikki , " jo " <jo.heartwork wrote: > > Hi Nikki > > Just trees. I have a weeping willow, a weeping purple beech and a pine > tree.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 HI Nikki Your garden sounds lovely. Mine is lacking veggies at present, but I will find a place for them eventually. You have lots of strawberries :-) and a crab apple tree, which must be beautiful when the leaves change colour. The pool sounds good too, especially as you probably get the weather to use it. As you say, it would be good to hear about other people's gardens.

It is quite nice and we do have quite a few strawberries. We use them to make jam and I put them on my cereal as well. There is nothing like fresh fruit and veggies straight from the garden. The crab apple tree has to go though. It is pretty, but the apples are horribly bitter and they make quite a mess. Zak won't let me get rid of it though. He enjoys climbing on it too much. > As you say, it would be good to hear about other people's gardens. It would be nice, just to see what everyone else is enjoying.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 hi nikki, mmmm strawberries! I love old tattered fences, because they give a place such a warm, country look. my fence came with the house is just an ugly metal gate. when we save money we will buy a nicer one. do you start your garden from seed or do you buy at a nursery? the pool sounds nice, I have just signed up my little boys at the ymca for swimming lessons called pollywogs (beginners). they have a great fear of water. Most little boys in florida swim like fish. have you ever though about a tree house? we are thinking of one, because I think that it would be soo much fun, and we have a tree that might suit it. me as an Adult re living childhood, (or never outgrowing it) I would be the one up there!

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Hi Peter I dare say your wife will forgive you :-) especially if she likes chilli. We reckon that blackbirds live in a different dimension to us - they never seem to notice us, and always have their mind somewhere else.

That's a shame.

Besides, I have remembered what " mickey " means and I have to say that there is a mouse in Hollywood who may not be too pleased with your reference of him.

I agree! Unfortunately ours has more the look of falling down. It doesn't help that in his " golden " years our pucky dog has taken it upon himself to decided that the only way to get to the rabbits in the front yard is to tear down the fence... > do you start your garden from seed or do you buy at a nursery? Both. I try to start as much from seed as I can, both indoors and out. But some plants come from the local nursery. > the pool sounds nice, I have just signed up my little boys > at the ymca for swimming lessons called pollywogs (beginners). It is quite nice. I am not much of a pool fan anymore. When I was young I use to love to swim. Zak enjoys it greatly though as does his friends. So I love to relax reading a book poolside while they are swimming. > they have a great fear of > water. > Most little boys in florida swim like fish. Then it is nice that you are starting them out slowly > have you ever though about a tree house? I would love one as would Zak, but the tree is too small and definately not sturdy enough. I thought of building him a playhouse, but there really isn't enough room. > we are thinking of one, because I think that it would be soo much fun, > and we have a tree that might suit it. That sounds like alot of fun! > me as an Adult re living childhood, (or never outgrowing it) > I would be the one up there! I would too!
