Humor, fun and lunch in the garden


This tea table sits up against the edge of the driveway to make it handy for guests that can't walk very far and to make it easy for me to roll up to in the wheelchair. It's working really well so far.



All of the plants in this fairy garden are lunch. there are strawberry plants, chives and lettuce.



 I love the view going down into the garden from the deck at the top end of the ramp. When I get all the plants and flowers in it will be even better.



As well as humor in a garden it's important to have a bit of heritage and some fond memories.


The agates I've top dressed this pot with were collected and polished by a favorite Aunt and Uncle on their travels and makes us happy whenever we see them.

Pink Tulips and Ivory Daffodils


This doesn't look like much now other than to roughly mark the area that I want turned into the new flower bed here. They're also handy  for cutting and I resist the urge to bring too many into the house so that I can let guests cut and take fresh flowers home with them.


I'm planning a gravel area with plants and flowers that will run from just in front of the tulips and go back past the pine tree. I'ts going to be a long time before I can afford  to do that but  looking at the flowers here give me hope that it will happen some day.


In the meantime we're all enjoying them, aren't you?


New tulips and lilies along with violets from Grandma make this garden fell wonderful, you can almost feel the generations of love that have gone into it.
