My Gardens.....

I'm over my head.  This year I decided to start a flower garden.  Only, I've ended up with eight places scattered over our farm growing flowers.  Or trying to grow flowers.  Gardening is an addiction.  At least for me it seems.

Here are some photos of my many gardens.  I didn't take any of the Cannas on a bank beside the road or the hostas down from those on the same bank.  Forgive the no mulch.  Still have to put that down.  I'm gotten in over my head obviously.




These are at the edge of our porch facing the far hay field.  HOPING the 
spread and are thick and tall enough to cover the end of the porch.








These are at the corner of our front yard.  I'm going to plant a tree but not sure what kind.
Looking for suggestions.  An American Flag pole and birdbath are also in the plans.










These are growing on an ugly clay bank near the barn.  Not sure
what they will be.  I started them from bulbs.  Hoping they spread
and cover the bank.






Started two elephant ears on another ugly clay bank near a paddock.
Hoping they will grow very large and hide the bank.





One side at bottom of driveway.  It's a hodge podge of flowers.  No idea how
it's all going to look and go together in the end.  Must mulch soon!








Other side of bottom of driveway with several flowers I don't know
what are.  And about 8-9 rose bushes I started last fall. 
 It will take years for them to get large and pretty
but that is okay.  It's fun growing them.







Three sets of elephant ears I started on another ugly clay bank beside the big covered arena.
Once again, hoping these grow large to cover bank.






Original rose bush.  Six are doing well.  The front bushes are cut way
back.  Disease has gotten hold.




New purchase last night.  Two crape myrtles.  
Now....where to plant...........

    1. I'll have to look at those. I just can't decide on a tree for my small garden and what would look right.
