Chelle - love your peony/rose arrangement!

We used to have racoons here, but haven't seen them in awhile. We live by the river and do get the big river rats. But, it is the squirrels and birds that eat the fruit crop that drives me nuts.

I've been wanting like crazy to have Campanula in the gardens here, seems like forever...they're blooming!! Hurray! I have a few larger areas of them that should be fantastic once they're all open. I'm definitely doing a happy-dance today!

Thanks!

Your Campanula are wonderful, Chelle!

Quintessential cottage to the core! Love it! Hurray!

The scent of the tall noid Trumpet Lilies is amazing. You can smell them 15 feet away...

last winter that I like, but it's not quite as eye-catching as your Abigail Adams. I'll have to check out The Gift. Thanks, again.

The "old" tomato garden area which I did have last year but made longer at each end this year. 12 tomatoes, 6 in each row. They are happy because I put two bags of compost on that area.
