Our Gardens...

The Farmhouse Garden......


The  garden here at the Farmhouse still needs lots of work....
I have always found the garden to be a place of peace..
Actually to me...
working in the garden is very therapeutic....

.



When we bought this old farmhouse...
We inherited some of the most beautiful bearded Iris's.....








There is just one problem...
The blossoms are so big, bold and beautiful...
the wind just knocks them down after only a few days...
I have shared many bulbs with others...

We also have lots of bee balm and phlox.....
and sweet pea vines......
and Peonies...

Which makes for some wonderful arrangements.....


There was also lots of Fall Clematis vine...
It blooms beautiful and grows like crazy!
I started this shoot on my newly built pergola post...
It has already grown up and over......
It smells wonderful!


This is Max...

 Mordie...Ole yeller Cat
as My Hubby calls him.....

 And Essie.....
Better known as "Essie Pearl"...
Yep...
She is a Farm girl!
They love following me around as I work in the garden.....


Fall in the Garden......

I love planting in old shoes...
Sedum loves it......
This is the fence line all dressed in Queen Anne's Lace
Such a beautiful natural garden....



My dreams:

A chicken coop:


 I hope one day soon to have a chicken coop..
A fancy one...
with


A large  vegetable garden....
I love canning/preserving  my own vegetables....
