Gardening with Juanita

We are always glad to see the first Daffodils mostly it means winter is over. It was a hard one for me.

I love the pear trees.

These Camellias bloomed beautifully. We have two like these in this yard and on in Carrel's

.

This is another spring blooming Carmella

Ann Magnolia This tree was here when I bought this house.

These are from our new "Garden Room".

I hope you enjoyed my new blog page today. Thank you for watching our garden grow and bloom. I hope you will grow one of your own. Happy gardening from Carrel and Juanita.

I have not written a post for one year, sorry about that. When I tried to get on my blog it was up for sale, after a while they let me write another page. This has not been the best year of my life, but not the worst. We had lots of rain this past winter, ice and some snow. Limbs fell from trees, and of course everything looked dead. But then SPRING will follow winter. It really makes us cheer up just to think about it.

This is fall and all the leaves.

I think the Carinal is so pretty in a tree with snow.

This is my "Evergreen Room. I thought I had this picture already but I could not find it. I am standing in front of "Azelia " an 8' by 4 'wall' I On my right are "Azellia and Sasanca". I have 3 "Sasanas" now 2 red and 1 pink.

We do have some pretty blooms in the late fall and all winter with the red and white and Pink Camellia and now 3 Sasancs two red and one white.

I hope you had a good winter and you have enjoyed this blog page. I thank you for watching our garden grow and bloom and hope you will grow one of your own. Have fun, Carrel and Juanita.

August Blahs

All the bright Black Eyed Susans are gone. There are four beds of them and there seem to light up the whole yard. I really miss them. How ever I do have a few roses and a couple of beds that are bright.

This is my mailbox bed, this potato vine is growing
from the pot. I cut the old blooms from my Phlox and they are beginning to bloom back. That is a good reason to grow Phlox but they have bloomed and are now in the rebloom stage. They will bloom until frost. A lot of perennials once they have bloom out do not bloom any more until the next summer. I have 5 beds of Phlox so I will have lots of color yet.

You can always count on these two for color all summer. The Begonias are never without blooms. I really like the leaves of the copper Begonia best of all. I was worried about the sun on the leaves of the Caladium. The 11-00 AM until 2-00 PM are suppose to be the hottest time of the day,and that is when the sun is on this bed, also between 4 and 5-00 PM.

The Crape Myrtle is beginning to bloom again. Carrel cuts the old blooms off and it reblooms . How ever he waits a while before he does it. One year he was nice I only had to ask him one time and it bloomed three times. I love to see its bright color.
I do not like the mess the falling blooms make, and I do not want the seedlings around the bottom of my tree.

The Humming Bird is one of my favorite summer visitors to my yard. We have five feeders out and I know two are eating at each and there are others fighting to eat with them.
This is my first picture this year.

This little Rose is turning 4 today. Happy birthday my sweet Rose.

I hope you enjoyed this new page of my blog. Thank you for watching my garden grow and bloom, and I hope you grow one of you own. Happy gardening to you from Carrel and I, Juanita.
