meet me at the garden gate



Our favorite song to dance to with the beans is Garden Gate by the Black Crowes......

Come on in and see what's growing!
































Wishing everyone a very wonderful weekend! 


Linking up with....Fishtail Cottage

  1. Hey girly, I am glad it dried up enough to get out and take some photos! I like all of the hostas you have planted! They really enhance the woodland feel to your garden. Is that a honeysuckle blooming in the first photo? It looks like a honeysuckle but the leaves are not quite right. I hope you have a good weekend too :)

  3. It looks so relaxing! I am jealous of the mature look of your garden. I feel like I still have a bunch of mulchy areas in mine. Those are some giant hostas you've got there!

  7. Oh sure, you get dry weather and I've been in pouring down rain and temps in the 40's all week. How is that fair? :)
    It's so fun to see the same plants that I have in my garden on the other side of the country. Love seeing pictures of your yard!

  12. It's the little touches that are enchanting -- that unpainted picket fence, the children's garden tools lying by the garden, and the quiet sun dappled ferns. It's all lovely!

  13. Dear Nicole, you've been holding out on us! You've shown tiny glimpses of a garden every now and then, but now you've introduced us to this beautiful yard of full-on beauty! You have a lovely garden with a definite woodland feel to it ... have a wonderful weekend yourself, and I hope the sun comes back to warm us all again soon :) Wendy

  19. What a gorgeous garden! I have a question--what is the plant with the red and chartreuse leaves that you have in the container with the petunias? A coleus? It certainly is pretty! I'd love to know the variety if you happen to know.

  29. Hi Nicole, Thanks so much for your lovely comment on my blog. So great to meet another fellow gardener {and blogger:)}. Loved the song - very cool and love that garden gate! Are you in the US? x

  30. Looking great Nicole! It's fun to see a garden take shape. I especially love your shot with your garden helper's tools.

  31. Your garden is so lush and green and beautiful! Love the weigela! I have the same perennial geranium as you do. I found it, free of charge, at an abandoned greenhouse last summer. The bank had done an auction and whatever was left, anyone could go and get so I got a lot of plants! I noticed the miniature rose I got there has a bud on it. Your garden looks great!

    ReplyDelete
  32. That is a snappy song. I would not have guessed Black Crowes. You garden is looking good, but really has that homey feel. Must be that colorful broom and leaf rake!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Gorgeous garden, as always! Wish you could come over and help with mine! :)
