I forgot how to post pictures! I just spent absolutely FOREVER, scanning through last year's garden thread, looking for some pictures I posted last year and thought I would figure it out from there. After taking what seemed like HOURS (it was a great thread, I did some re-reading as well while I was there) I FINALLY located one of the few pictures I posted and I hit "EDIT" so I could copy the link and it said that the THREAD WAS CLOSED AND SO I COULDN'T EDIT and it took me back to PAGE ONE of that thread and I didn't make a notation as to what page out of however many trillion were there that my picture was on!

I guess I should just go to the Tech Board and read up on posting pictures again! But not tonight, not tonight. Good night all.

I would love to but I don't have anywhere to store them yet...maybe i'll just link them.

Here is a small website I use for my garden pics. I believe there are 4 pages and you can click on the picture to make it bigger for a closer look. These were all taken last year.

Amid... those are wonderful pics! I love the ornamental grasses.... I think I need to seriously consider adding some to my gardens. So dramatic. :)

I do not have any pics of this year's garden yet... but will soon. I promise to post some pictures as the season unfolds. I am putting a whole new garden in this spring... so there will be lots of new things to see this year in addition to my current gardens.

Things are coming along in my garden. The spring bulbs are blooming, the perennials are leafing out nicely, and my annual seedlings are coming up nicely in my seedtrays in the house - should be ready for transplanting around late May.

[NHMickey]

Amid Chaos thank you for sharing... Those pictures were great.

[Rafiki Rafiki Rafiki]

Wow! I'm impressed! How long have you been growing this garden?

[Mamu]

I loved this front grass garden when I saw it last year. It even prettier then the pic's. I was impressed with all the different shades of grasses.

A Green Bounce to Amid for one of the prettiest grass gardens. :bounce:

[shep]

Nice Pics AC!!:)

[Tulirose]

Thanks for posting those beautiful pictures, Amid Chaos.

Hope to work on mine soon.

[Glinda]

Here's a little website I just slapped together for garden and oudoor improvement pics. All from last season or before. I'll be adding and changing as the season progresses.
I'm still busy cleaning up outside and with this heat it may take awhile.

[Tulirose]

Very Nice!! Wanna come over to my place with your ideas and ambition? :D

[DixieDreamer]

Glinda you have wonderful landscaping details. I really enjoyed the pictures!

[Mamu]

A :bounce: green bounce to Glinda for beautiful landscaping.

[Glinda]

Thanks everyone. :bounce:
If it weren't for my DH and his incredible talents all my ideas would remain just that, grand ideas.

Tulirose I'd love to come over anytime.

Chaos, your gardens and sunroom are beautifull!! How long have you been growing the grass? What fertilizer do you use?

[believe]

All the gardens are beautiful. I really want a sunroom, just ask DH..he hears about it a lot. I hope to post pictures of our landscaping/gardens as soon as I learn how. It isn't as nice as what I have seen here, but DH and I are proud of it.

[amid chaos]

Glinda...just beautiful...a lovely place to sit and ponder life.

[amid chaos]

My grasses are about 6 years old and really need to be split. thank you for all the kind compliments.

[believe]

Here is a link to our yard. All the pictures are from Spring/Summer 2001. We have taken some pictures this year and will post once developed. DH added many tulips/crocus/daffodils last year, so this year everything is really full.

[amid chaos]

Believe, your yard and house are beautiful...just lovely. What are the short rounded pinks in the front of the bed?

[believe]

They are phlox. I really like them, they get bigger every year and you can split them. The majority of mine came from my MIL. The bad part is that they only bloom in the Spring. I put annuals between them for the summer. At our old house I use to put snowflakes between them, looked like phlox but bloomed all summer. The snowflakes have not done well at this house. I currently put a sun loving type of impatient that spreads, some take off...some don't.

[shep]

I am really proud of the 5th picture..it has my hybrid lilies in it...in front of the wall..I Love them!!!

[Glinda]

Believe your gardens are lovely. The phlox are very pretty and full. Mine are just starting. You must get a lot of butterflies with the blue mist and the butterfly bushes. Do you have any pics of the ponds? I'd love to see them.
Now Shep I know you said there are lillies there but I can't see them. Any closeups?

[Tulirose]

Believe, I agree. Your house and gardens are beautiful. {Sigh} I think I tried planting phlox a number of years ago but didn't have any luck.

Shep, are you talking about Believe's 5th picture? I think I do see lillies in front of the wall but not clearly because of the distance. So, are you saying that those lillies are REALLY yours (in other words, are you and Believe related?) OR do you just have lillies like them? Inquiring minds want to know! :D

[Mamu]

Believe beautiful home and gardens.

[believe]

Shep and I are husband and wife. He loves to garden, I use to at our old house and am just getting back into it at this house. I have given input on a lot of the yard over that past 3 yrs, but he is the one that keeps it going.

His lilies are very low to the ground right now. I edged around them this weekend. We will have to take a picture when they are in bloom. He received another one this weekend from my Mom, she knows how much he loves lilies. My favorite flowers are daisies.

We do get a lot of butterflies with the bluemist and the butterfly bush.

The pond is very small, just a kidney shaped prefab one. It mostly gets covered by the two bushes. I will see if I have a pictures of it to send.

[Tulirose]

Well, ya learn something new every day! Like my tag says, I'm clueless, but I'm okay with that, especially now that I'm in the know! :D So, let me congratulate BOTH of you for a beautiful home and gardens.

[NHMickey]

Updated my garden today... Here are a few pictures...

Nice pics NHMickey!!:bounce:

[amid chaos]

NHmickey...if you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for those landscaping stones?...i may have a use for htem.

[NHMickey]

I didn't pay for them... My yard is full of stones and I went to a construction site to get the others... No charge. They said I could take what I wanted. They don't call my street Rock Lane for nothing :D :D :D

[Glinda]

NHmickey, great pics. Nice landscaping and I love your stone work. That's a lot of rock to set up. The pond is beautiful too. Any fish? Your fountain is very clever. I'd like to try something like that. How did you do it?

[amid chaos]

No, I mean the brick things.

[NHMickey]

Ohh... Wal Mart. $1.97 (matched a price from home depot that did not have red brick)...

Thank you Glinda... I have a pump in the pond hooked to a small plastic hose inside the can down to the spout. I made the holes in the head a little bigger to stop the build up of sediment and restrict the water flow. No fish in the pond... I do get a lot of frogs thoug. I have two other ponds I'm working on that should be redone (0ne of them was a first attempt at pond building and the other is a work in progress) soon....

[Mamu]

NHMickey lovely natural landscaping. I can tell you've put lots of love labor into it.

I also love the watering can idea. Funny thing once you've started pond'ing it get into your blood. Nothing like a water feature included in the landscaping.

Looking forward to seeing more pic's soon. :) :) :)

[Snowwark]

Bumping this back up, it's wonderful! :)

I am so impressed!

Amid, I love your grasses, your sunroom, your lot.....well, you get the picture! :)

NHMickey, you've done tons of rock and brick work, obviously a labour of love, and it looks great! :) I love that huge boulder, looks like a perfect spot to sit, and plan, and dream....:)

Glinda, gorgeous house and property, really lovely! The gazebo is charming. :)

Believe & Shep, you've done a lot of stone work too. I love the butterfly bush! What a nice yard for your kids!! I'm looking forward to Shep's lily pictures! :)

I can feel it coming over me....that nasty lot lust/acreage envy ....;)...you all have such large properties!! :) :) Our lot is quite small, but someday, if we're lucky, we'll have more room to garden.

These pictures are a real treat, thank you very much for sharing them!!

Kim :)

[NHMickey]

Yes I sit on the rock and dream (with my dog Chloe... She loves to sit and on the rock and just stare out in to the yard...)

[marlasmom]

Glinda - WOW. After seeing yours, Mamu's, Amid Chaos' and Dixie Dreamer and Snowark I've decided I have a pretty poor excuse for a garden.

[Snowwark]

Marlasmom, don't think that!! Our garden is small, but it's ours, and it IS a garden! :)
It really doesn't matter what size your garden is, or the condition it's in, all that counts is that you love flowers, trees, nature, and that you have fun with it, enjoy it! ......:)

Kim :)
