Congrats to you.

Watch out though, if those neighbors fine out what you are doing to grow those beauties, you will have some big time competition.

Congrats!! You have a lovely garden. Winter Sowing rocks!

Fantastic!!! Congratulations!!!

Congrats! I'd love to see photos of the rest of the yard!

Glo, if you wouldn't mind her using it, Trudi might like to use that photo as a WS promotion (I don't know that, the thought just crossed my mind). If you haven't told her about this already, you might want to email the photo to her.

CONGRATULATIONS !!!!! It looks beautifull, and I bet everyone thought you were off your rocker. There not thinking that know.
Jennie

How nice! It looks beautiful. I would have voted for you also! More pictures please!
Maggie

Thanks everyone! I have so many salvia plants, agastaches etc. all due to winter sowing and I have had the major share of hummingbirds in my yard! I kinda have a cottage garden that gets out of hand look to my yard. But it hasn't cost a kings ransom. My neighbor a few doors down got Basewide yard of the year and she's spent more than the ransom getting her effect and it is gorgeous if you like lots of pink. I have a bit of a mix and I think my hummers like it!

Trudi, you are more than welcome to use the picture if you'd like. I'd feel honored!

BTW, for the first time in 3 years, my hyacinth beans are blooming!!!

glo

Don't know if this will work... but I've got some of my stuff in my photobucket page, so if you'd like to see more, here goes...

Here is a link that might be useful: my home and hummers

Your yard is lovely--I sure enjoyed looking at all your pictures, and hope someday I will have flowers as wonderful. I am a newbie this year, and my seeds have taken but most I planted were perenials, so are still without bloom this year. I can't wait until next year.

What do you have planted in your round bed for the hummers?

Jeane

Jeane,
I have cardinal flower (lobelia cardinalis) in the back center and that stuff reseeds everywhere! then I have black and blue salvia's along with salvia coccinea (lady in red) and some white nymph salvia and in the middle of all that mess, I have a bird bath with one of those water wiggler thingy's to avoid mosquitoes! It had just been dead headed, so doesn't look that great in the picture, but I really do thank you for your kind words! Your yard will be great for many years to come!!! I've got lots to re-arrange next year but then after that, I'll be moving to my OWN house and can do as I please!!! Yippy!
