The weather is kind of nice here today, so I took advantage and went out to clear th yard, in prep for Spring.

Am looking at what I can add to the garden this year, something different

Dini, your garden is absolutely gorgeous. I'm so surprised that you don't use any miracle grow because maybe that good soil and our rainy days have helped the garden tremendously.

I know this year my white perennial phlox looks absolutely amazing and people were stopping and asking me what kind of a plant it is.

No miracle gro here, just 10 yrds of good triple mix soil, a lot of cow poo, compost and water.

The outcome has exceeded my expectation to be honest, and this is my first year. Everyone that goes by the house, comments about it.

Great pictures-thanks for sharing them. Everything looks so healthy and well cared for.

Can you tell me what you have growing on the lattice, and if it is growing from a planter? I could use something like that as a privacy screen on my deck.

Yes they are growing from 2 planters side-by-side. 1 is a climbing black eyed susan and the other is trumpet vine.
