How Does My Garden Grow?

Welcome to my house. That's the roof in the middle, beyond the dogwood.


This old cherry tree is to the right of the fence.


A magnificent magnolia as you come in the drive.
How about garden tour? This is the front walk and porch, hostas and boxwoods.
House plants on summer vacation.
The Nittany Lion is shedding a tear for the lost bowl game last January.

Looking up the walk with a bleeding heart to the left and to the right a red maple.

Grasses, yews and dogwood on the hill.

There are peonies on the hill. These are some along with iris.
This vine turned out to be a pumpkin, planted by the squirrel who ate the Halloween decorations last year. Thanks to him we have five nice ones for this year. Talk about curbside buys!
July-August on the hill with cone flowers and day lilies.

This is looking toward the garage and the parking area. In April and May ...

and June ...
The deck entry.

Looking down the back drive. The lilies and most of the other perennials I transplanted from my Mom's 30 year old garden at the Jersey Shore.

Did I mention we had a historic cemetery? Its very sad to see young children listed who only lived a few years. There's a whole story about this for another time.
May ... along the back fence.
The view of one of the blue spruce from the deck.

Beyond is a park meadow where our friends the deer roam.
Patio.

This is a great banner from BetterWall: Your Exclusive Source for Limited-Edition Museum Banners. I take it down for the winter, but put it up as the first sign of spring.
Looking back past the raspberries to the box woods and the garden shed.
