Susie, I like your avatar too, love how the gardens look in mist/fog! Thanks for the nice compliments also!

Thanks, Debra and Sandi. I love how the colors in a garden look in the fog too, kind of like a secret garden.

Yes.

We've only had one day in the last two months that was above freezing and then it was only 33F. With about 2 feet of snow on the ground and it seems like we get a little more each day with temps that are sometimes below -30 F at night and many days in the negative below zero with lots of wind, getting to see your gardens was like a little bit of warm coming through. So I too needed this!

Ugggghhhhh! Gonna be -21 tonight. I should have loaded up early on vitamin D to help with my (winter) SAD ~ More therapy needed LOL!


An older photo, foxglove has been moved

I think this is group therapy and you're one of the therapist!!

Lots of awesome therapists on this thread!!

Definitely group therapy It is like a breath of fresh air to see these beautiful outdoor pictures. I really like the little log cabin on the bench.

Sandi, Loving it !!!!!!

Some very nice gardens here.

These were taken in May.




Have lived here since 1990 and never seen this much ice
We had no snow, just sleet and ice photos taken 1/29/2014

Odd for your area.

That is amazing Fred. All that ice on green growing plants.
Hope they thaw out just fine.

Yes. I hope they survive such an unusual display of weather. Your pictures are so pretty. I like the lattice around the base of the tree... just dresses everything up a little. My husband has used lattice around our house and it looks very nice.

Fred - Your taste in hardscaping and plants is very similar to mine. I really enjoyed the photos you shared. And I LOVE your pond and seating arbor! Sweet! Daylilies, clematis, waterlilies, and impatiens, who could ask for anything more?!!! I will say that I also had Sweet Autumn Clematis covering a very large arbor/small pergola and had to cut it down and dig it up. It just got too large and messy for me to clean up every year, but yours is beautiful!

I can not get over the ice you have had. Yikes! That is insane to see such a thing in your southern location. I hope all your plants recover come Spring/Summer.

Thanks everyone, I'm not much on landscaping, and really do very little. You may have heard this before, the lattice is there to keep the armadillos from digging up everything.

This is the other side of the above photo
its covered with Jasmine.

This is the only thing I am concerned about the
cold weather killing, my Satsuma trees (citrus)

Rose arbor and entrance to the display area

Display area

Oh my, that rose arbor is stunning!

After seeing photo's of some of your plants, I'd love to see the plants in that display area!

beautiful, love the look of the lattice too. I like jasmine vine but I haven't found one hardy for here, and I'm not even sure I could tolerate the scent long term, allergic to everything
