Back Garden Shots - 3rd Set

18 years ago

Hi again, This will be the last set of the back garden for a while and will move on to other pictures. Boy some are bright, I did not mean to have such garish anuals this year, but the begonias and petunias I prefer to get, they did not have in the quantity I needed. Hope next year I can get the ones I prefer.



After losing a lot of my geraniums a few years ago, I am building up again the stock that I need. Fortunately I did not loose these large salmon coloured ones which I really like.







This is why the deer are still happy here, during the season they have been getting a daily schmorg of rose heads, set besides a compost pile for them. They hang around and wait for it.





I could not resist this last one of the Thanksgiving dinner roses, taken before the guests arrived. The smell was devine.

    Your roses look magnificent! And Bambi looks so cute!

    Can I come to your house and just sit and stare. I'll stay out of your way and you wouldn't even know I was there. Honestly. You have an absolutely gorgeous back yard.

    Sooooo nice Pauline. I'm with minsue....love to come and stay awhile. Those roses in the arrangement are GORGEOUS. I love to bring them inside too. Just wish they would last longer! Thanks again for sharing your beautiful part of the world. April

    It just doesn't get any better than this. Stunning as usual. Those dang deer are so cute but such a pain. Sorry you lost some of your geraniums. Please post as much as you wish. Thanks for sharing, Judy

    Hi Pauline, your garden is spectacular, just beautiful! How clever of you to set up a rose-feeding station for Bambi. I love your silver TG flower bowl in the last photo--it is stunning--now am wondering what varieties you have in there. Would not mind you sharing more pix, at all. :) Becky

    Thanks again everyone for your really kind comments.

    Becky - I will get my thinking cap on here. Most of the reds are L.D.Braithwaite, there are a couple of Pink Peace, Valentine Heart, Federik Mistral, Tamora, St Swithun, Margaret Merrill, Abe Darby, Brother Cadfael, Heritage and pretty Jessica, Probably some different ones on the other side. There were at least four dozen roses in that bowl. Becky, what do you mean by TG flower bowl please.???

    It just dawned on me that your Thanksgiving is earlier, otherwise I'm saying to myself why does Pauline have roses for Thanksgiving and I don't! That's a lovely table Pauline. I still don't know how you find the time and energy to care for all those plants.
    Love the deer caught eating roses and thanks for not hating it.

    Thanks Lana and Carla.

    Carla, Canadian Thanksgiving was last weekend. We had dinner on Sunday instead of the Monday. Yum, turkey was good and you still have YOURS to look forward to.:

    Wonderful bold bright washes of color everywhere Pauline, I love your gardens! It's all so beautiful and so neat and orderly, no weeds in your gardens. I did love the shot of the deer eating the rose blooms though, that was thoughtful of you to fill them up and maybe they won't come on in:) I'm sure they appreciated the extra bounty.
    Thanks for showing us so much, I'm sure you have other areas you haven't covered. Maybe when winter hits and you're not so busy you'll catch us with some blooms and bush pics:) That'd be a treat too:)

    I'm glad your holiday was such a treat with a gorgeous center piece like you had. As warm as it is here, I may still be able yet to have such myself.
    Thanks again for all the pics, I really enjoyed all of them:)
