Lily, it all looks wonderful! You have a beautiful setting, and you've done a great job! It looks heavenly to me!

I love your vignettes--eager to see them mature also! You have so many lovely things going. I definitely approve of the view from your upper window!

Thank you Sara Ann and Kate ! I appreciate it ! I finally feel like it's all coming together. I just may be able to sit back and enjoy it soon !! :)

Really pretty! I love your new curvy corner bed. Great job!

I love your Clotilde Soupert! Your Clotilde Soupert is so much pinker than mine.

It looks awesome!!! Love the serene setting! And your pretty roses! Can't wait for my PPE to bloom! Great job!

Wowzers! Talk about a scenic view from anywhere you happen to be. I'd love a big piece of land like that. I have my acre and a half jammed full. Prob good for my body that I don't. And my purse!! And my marriage. Bwahaha!! Everything looks so beautiful and you can tell you've thought a lot about your design. Can't wait to see them all in bloom Thanks for sharing! Judy

Wow you have done a great job! When it's all in bloom it will be so spectacular!

Beautiful, Lily! So graceful and such pretty choices. You are ahead of us this year.

Great photos of a great job!

I love it!!

These are amazing designs!!! And a lovely place you live in, Lily. I think some purples and blues around the edges of the beds will look very good. What about planting some lavenders around? And maybe some passiflora on the fences?

Wow Lily what a spectacular piece of property your have! How wonderful to have all that open space to work with. I can't wait to see pics of the beds in bloom!

Lilyfinch, I never tire of photos of your property. So beautiful.

Great job lilyfinch! That is a lot of hard work right there! Nicely done. It looks beautiful. The curvy bed was a great idea and you made it look great!

All that space, all those open vistas .. and the good taste to fill it with beautiful things. Lilyfinch, you rule!

You live in an incredible place. You have turned it in to a mini paradise . You have worked so hard and it is really paying off.

Yes, I see a lot of hard work in all that beauty. And, if I remember right, you pretty much do it all on your own. And, you have a baby, too! How in the world? You must be taking your vitamins, girl! Are you growing zinnias this year, too? Loved that zinnia patch from last year. You must post more close ups of Florentina Rosita! Beautiful, beautiful, Lilyfinch!

Thank you all so so much !! We have just over an acre , it looks like more With all the farm land .

Cenk , thanks for the suggestions !! My other love is clematis so I use lots of those and honeysuckle as well for climbers. I love blue and purple plants ! I use lots of salvias and pin cushions flowers and such . Ive never tried lavender as I hear the watering needs are different. Does it do well for you ?

Flowers- yes I do have a baby and a sweet husband who hates yard work ! Haha but she's one and a half now and just loves to play outside so I find I can get a lot more done plus her naps help too thank god !! I will be planting my zinnia bed soon too . Can't wait !!' It's my favorite part of the garden :)
