I can not get on the salsa garden thread to thank all of you for your kind words.
I appologize for hijacking your salsa garden thread but I was excited to post my photo journal-it took me a long time to figure out how to do it.
I do have a veggie garden but its not pretty. lol
as far as a green thumb goes, not so much. we bought this house 5 years ago. the first spring there I planted so many perenials it was crazy. They were little guys that cost less than 2 bucks and I thought they would take forever to get big. This proved to be not the case. Infact they became monsterous by the next year. HMM that is what my mother in law meant when she told me to read the labels and pay attention to how big they will get. I spent the following 3 years moving them around and grouping them and actually figuring out where they go. this year they are exactly how I wanted them to look. I am good now at laying out beds etc but It came from practice and reading and trial and error. I think a green thumb aplies to a brilliant gardener that just knows what goes where.
Michelle it is an oasis and I spend most of my time at home on my deck surrounded by my gardens.
