Carmelita's Haven

I love your foundation plantings. Have you tried growing anything up the chainlink? On mine I have grown morning glory,cucumbers,birdhouse gourds,and clematis.

Glad to hear you are into composting, too. Interestingly, I also "spot" composted when my garden was just beginning. Now the plants are growing much closer together and there's no room to dig a composting hole next to them, so my husband built me a wonderful compost bin on the rear corner of our property. I use it constantly and topdress my gardens each year with the "black gold" it produces.

Thank you so much for strolling my gardens and your kind comments. I see you have some of my favorite perennials: yarrow, peonies and hostas. Don't you just love having a garden so you can have cut flowers any time? Where are you located? How long have you been gardenigs?

Millet I love the border planting along the side of your house. Great color,texture and diversity. I really like how the shrubs lead your eyes. Great against the white background of the house.

Love all the colors and height variations. You must have a wonderfully green thumb - your pots a so full and healhy!
