    Oooh Ahhh!! Nice garden.

    Table Grapes! which kind. I can only keep 'Fredonia' alive in my Raleigh Garden, all the others passed away (harsh winter? Pierce's disease??). It tastes like Concord and is very very very productive. I just ordered some 'Victoria Red' and we'll see how they do.

    Very pretty and neat!! Everything seems to have a place!!! Beautiful indeed!!

    Now that is something I need to work on.

    My garden looks messy as there is no order. I just go did and plant where i think it will be happy. Most of them are happy, others not much:-(

    I will have pictures in Summer when all are blooming, fruiting etc...

    I am already dreaming of luscious fruits, Figs, Persimmon, Poms, etc... waiting to be picked and eaten...

    Variety of grape is Reliance red seedless. I just bought them on a whim and only found out after looking them up afterwards that they are well suited to the southern heat and humidity.

    Fredonia sounds nice and thanks :4) the compliment


    @Sabji garden

    Thank You as well! Yes, I am very big on everything having its place in the garden. I just get the vision and then do my best to put things where I see them in my mind's eye.

    Dreaming is one of the best parts. It is so wonderful to look forward to things, especially flowers and veggies 8')

    Btw that grape is now on its third year and is just now fruiting. It is huge though.

    Ooh aaah !!!

    Roses are very pretty Lois, are these fragrant too?

    The rosebush is just a Knockout Red, but it is a giant healthy one. That peach lily came in a little mixed color bag that I bought. I love that color. The knockouts don't really have a scent, but there is a Don Juan rose on the side of the house that smells lovely and the Marmalade Skies are ok on scent.

    Yours look like the fragrant kind for sureLoisthegardener.

    Most of them are fragrant, but the dark pink climber that's blooming its fool head off in the picture foreground is not even a little fragrant, at least to me. I will probably dig it up and trade it at the next Raleigh swap. It's called Laguna, and is very blackspot resistant, but also fairly thorny. I want to replace it with something more fragrant and less thorny. The other roses hiding behind Laguna are: Madame Isaac Pereire, Graham Thomas, Felicia, and Buff Beauty.

    Lois,

    I must say, ... you grow roses like I grow weeds! LOL!

    I would love to have that" blooming its heads off" rose if you do decide to dig it out.

    Lois,

    Did the basil seeds from the swap germinate yet ?

    My Thai basil plant is 7" tall now.

    I have kept it aside for you. When would you like to come, see my garden and pick it too?

    Message me. Click on sabji and message me I can give you my contact info.

    Wow, beautiful pictures guys! I am certainly inspired :) Radiantpoppy, where did you get your grapes? I have been wanting to grow some, but have been nervous as I have heard different stories (both good and bad)... Are these pretty disease/pest resistant or are they finicky?


    Here is my contribution to the potluck of gardening eye candy... This has been a project two years in the making since we moved into our new house in 2013...
