Gardens

When we bought our house there were no foundation plantings. Here I'm just getting started.	A few years later and later in the season, the garden is lush and the morning glorys cover the railings.
My gardens are planned to flourish Spring to Autumn. These are mums in mid October.	A vegetable garden.
The willow tree has already lost its leaves, but the garden underneath still flourishes in this picture from 10/04
Virginia is wine country. We don't make wine, but we do grow some good looking grapes .	...and black raspberries. Ummm!
A color photo of a very gray day. Gardens have biorhythms too.
What a difference a few months make.
Spring flowers.
You can see the old corral fences in some of the above photos. Here in this picture from 1994, we are just getting the area ready for our future Herbal Medicine Wheel Garden. It will someday fill that whole space. In front of the fence is all flower beds now. And it looks like this was before we bought our lawn tractor.
The level area for our studio/office (the building in the foreground - the protrusion on the left is the main house further back) had to be carved out of the hillside. This left this steep incline for planting flowering shrubs and ground cover.
Spring 2005 is the most lush ever. This Redbud never bloomed like this before.
In milder winters, pansies can stay in flower right through to spring.
