my outdoor garden...

My garden is starting to take shape...anyone that is familiar with where I live knows it's  cold and flowers tend to bloom a bit late, but luckily last winter was what we call mild here in the mountains! 

I am sharing with you bits and pieces of one of my outdoor gardens...like everything else - it's a work in progress.  My garden consist mostly of wildflowers a mix of perennial & annuals.  I plant lots of bulbs so they come back every year and plant them weekly so you have different flowers growing thru the summer season.

I purchased 150 bulbs to plant...I will start today!

this is the walk way path leading to backyard


moroccan turqouise lantern purchased 4 of them at urban outfitters a few yrs ago...metal stand was purchased at family dollar for $1.50
my goal today is to plant all you see here, including the bags of bulbs!

can't get enough of rock borders or rock walls...love them and they cost nothing!

  1. Beautiful! I love flowers,i especially like the wild/cottage sort of gardens where there are all different sorts of flowers & riots of colour everywhere.It's great that you have wildflowers in your garden.
    If i had the time i would love to garden but the kids make it a bit hard to do that sort of thing.
