My garden

By momlovesbeingathome

Thanks to MommyZabs for the step by step instructions on putting pictures on here!! I told you a few days ago that I would post pictures of my garden so here it is!

This picture was taken when we bought the house a year ago:

Before the garden

This was taken about a week or two ago:

The garden!

And this one also:

another view of the garden

This one was taken today – I was trying to get the same shot as the first picture. As you can see my tree is a little bigger and got in the way for part of it. :)

  2. Mom, I think you are a very godly woman, and therefore I wanted to ask you something….could you check out my blog? Let me know what you think about me now??

    Love Andrea

  3. Oh, Andrea – thank you so much for such a compliment! I just went to your blog and read your post. I don’t think any less of you and I left you a long comment. :)

    Love you!!

    What a beautiful difference, and great flowers/trees. Also, I LOVE the chairs and watering can on the porch – makes everything look so much more “homey.” Nice work! Thanks for sharing.

  5. Thanks, teeni! As you can see I had just watered when I took a couple of the pictures – there’s water all over the edge of the porch. :)

    It looks so beautiful! What a difference in the before and after pics.

    I was blessed by moving into a house where they’d planted the types of things that come back year after year–if I hadn’t who knows what my house would look like! I do not have a green thumb, that is for sure!! Nice job!

    oh i love it. Isn’t watching things grow the most amazing thing! :)
    I can’t wait to see more pics of life at your house :) Then you won’t feel so far.

    You did a great job! It’s amazing how much different the side of a house can look with some landscaping. You have skills! Your landscaping is beautiful!

  9. Thanks, MZ! I just love watching the stuff grow. It’s funny though because I’ll go to my mom’s house and she has some of the same plants but they will be much bigger and I’ll wonder why mine aren’t that big! She says be patient and they’ll get bigger. :)

    Thanks, Carmen. It makes the house look more lived in doesn’t it. :) Thanks for the compliments! I really enjoy gardening and it’s nice to have people appreciate it. Even my husband told me yesterday how good it looked. It was funny because he’s not really into gardening or flowers or anything (although he did help me dig this one last year!) but he said despite the fact he doesn’t get into all of it that I had done a good job and it looked really good. That was pretty awesome coming from him. :)

    MLBH, this house looks like a house that would be in my neighborhood. We are working on our landscaping too this summer. Our house has bushes in front kind of like yours, but yours looks much nicer. We have alot to do. I will post some pictures of mine if we ever get that far!

    God bless!

  11. There were quite a few bushes in the front when we moved in – I dug several of them out though. I like some bushes but I like flowers more. :) I’ll have to put up a before and after picture of the front where the bushes were. I’m looking forward to seeing your pics! :)
