It's Gardening Season! {Video Tour of My Backyard}

I'm so happy that Spring 2015 is finally here.  Our Winter in Missouri wasn't all that difficult but it felt so dark and gloomy to me.  That probably had more to do with things going on in my personal life than with the weather.  Sunny days have arrived again and thank goodness for that.  I've been working in my gardens and especially in what I call my Cottage Garden in my backyard.  15 years ago our home had no landscaping except for a huge ugly hedge in the front of the house.  Hard to believe that in 40+ years not one of the homeowners of our house did any landscaping.  Well, that changed when we moved in.  I have dug loads of dirt and planted hundreds of flowers, shrubs and vegetables over the years. 

In the backyard I had a really nice flower garden, but last year decided to change it up and add vegetables to the beds.  We had a great harvest of tomatoes, eggplant, peppers and zucchini so I decided to plant even more this year.  I've just gotten started and have more to plant in the next few weeks but here is a little video tour of what's happening in the garden now.

Have a great weekend!

Flower and Herb Garden...


Hope you are all having a lovely summer.  We are busy as usual and I'm really enjoying gardening more this year than in the last several years.  The photo above is part of my flower and herb garden.  It is really full this year from all the rain we've had.  The garden contains Hostas, Hydrangea, Thyme, Sedum, Daylilly, Lemon Balm and Rosemary.
