Another one of our favorites are just popping open!! The ladies that toured the gardens this weekend were just stunned at this one! This is a great place to hold your weddings when the yard is in full bloom!! ;)

Can you believe I spent 3 hours untangling all 5 of these off the arbor they called home during the growing season?
What we won't do to save our plants!

Here is what is left of our five snail vines for next year!! All 5 hanging baskets were cut back to 8 inches above the soil and the rest are being rooted.

Interesting.. :-) Nice plants.. Are they grown to be put around other plants to show other plants off?

Buff, there is so much to look at when you come visit, some of my nursery friends say it's better than their nurserys. To come walk in the garden to see them actually growing in one's yard is priceless. Most nurserys grow in pots and you don't get to see them do their thing. It depends on what one wants to see as to when it's a best time to visit. There is always something blooming here!! This plant was grown to cover the arbor that is by the front entry into the gardens, it was to replace the Passifloras that got moved to the entryway to the veggie garden.

I bet. Now if those neighbors on several sides just don't stop starring at your wonderful work, things might be nicer..

Will be looking forward to more pictures and updates.
