Great garden shots...and I love the cottage garden effect, that's the way most of mine is. :) Pretty kitty in the last photo...does he/she have a name? LOL

So Pretty!! I too love the cottage effect. The bed is lovely, I like the mix of iris and day lilies. What is the Kitt'ys name. It is all very pretty. Thanks for posting such a "upper" - it makes you feel good to look at it.

I love the cottage garden effect also. So much pretty color in those long beds. It looks like a cottage garden so it is a cottage garden, plop it anywhere seems to be working very well for you.

Pretty garden Kitty. My kitty never seems to want to get into my pictures while many of you have kitties in your garden shots.

Lovely garden and driveway bed!
Isn't that the same kitty as in the thread 'just wondering'? Pretty cat!

Wow I like the "plop it anywhere" effect. I've tried that and mine looks like a mess. I usually end up having to dig everything back up. But I really like yours. Love the kitty as well.

Lovely! I wish I had that much space!

Very nice! I like the natural, all-growing-together look. Love that mullein in the third photo, and the kitty, of course.

Yes Nat4, it is the same kitty :) The kitty's name is Roady, short for Roadkill because that is almost what he was. I "rescued" him from the middle of a busy intersection during rush hour. I think he had hitched a ride on his owner's car & chose the wrong time to get down. His owners never claimed him. He is the sweetest cat I have ever had & is always "helping" me in the garden. That is why he gets more photo opportunities:)
I think my gardens look quite messy, but I don't know how to fix it. Like the mullein right up in front. I grew it from seed, & already had a pink variety. The pink was tallish, but not nearly as tall as the yellow, & the yellow is bulkier. I still like it though, bright yellow even if it is askew. Thanks for the comments everyone. I'm fortunate to have 5 acres to fill up!

Well, I love your "PLOP IT ANYWHERE" effect.I think it really looks good.Very pretty blooms along that driveway.I would say just keep up the good work as it just looks fantastic.Simply love your kitty.ROADY looks to be a very loveable kitty.

I love that long border along your drive. Roady looks sweet.

Cottage Gardens always should look just like it did just plop it there. The effect is really nice the way you did it.

What a wonderful display to come home to (and for visitors.)
You sure have a lot more blooming than I do, but I'm a zone colder, and have a lull in bloom periods right now.
I too, have mostly cottage style gardens, and enjoy re-arranging plants from year to year.

Thanks for the tour!

Oh I love the driveway picture. That gives me an idea:) I wonder if I can talk my husband into something like that? hmmmm...

That second picture is a great cottage garden pic. Love the coneflowers and all the different shades and shapes of green.

You have a wonderful place.
