Weeping gardens

3 years ago

Hello everyone,

First time posting here, in fact I haven’t posted any garden pics online in twenty years or so.

I have quietly been building my conifer collection for many years and have decided to see if there is any interest in viewing pictures of my garden ? I can look at pictures of conifers and gardens all day long and I am hoping you guys are the same. I am looking forward to seeing pictures of your gardens.

Although I landscape professionally, I was thinking of only sharing pictures of my own personal gardens.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks for looking,

Jim

    Has been a slow spring start out west here, March cold and early April not exactly being pleasant either. But, that's okay, it's here on in that most counts and seems we're on the cusp of some good decent temperatures, tomorrow to about 18 C, that shall feel mighty nice!!

    Yes, indeed "Exceptional landscaping!", a very enjoyable video ! :)

      Truly glorious, and those junipers in a myriad of colors and textures spreading out upon the walkway creates a very appealing effect! Please keep the photos coming Jim!

      Gosh, those are spectacular. I don't know enough to identify them (memory isn't what it used to be-sigh), but I would love to see more. We lost the last remnants of an ancient oak forest behind us to development. Now I am planning to put in a couple of conifers. Hard job because we onle have a half acre total and I want to plant natives and the choice here in northen Virginia are limited). I will live vicariously through your wonderful garden!

      Thank you Frozebud and Tsugajunkie !

      I am located in Ontario Canada zone 5. The snow cover has been constant this year.

      Yesterday it was 15+ above freezing but some snow is stubbornly sticking around.

      I am starting to hear the robins singing at first light now !

      Come On Spring !

      I put a video on youtube of part of my garden you may like, see link below.

      FB, don't get me started on our extended winter. :-) I still have 7ft. snow piles at the end the driveway.

      Today we're sunny and finally up in the 40'sF with high sixties forecast for next week.

      Good thing about a slow thaw is more melted snow will go into the ground and boy, do we need the moisture. :-/

      Thanks Jim! Your pictures and videos make the waiting for spring a lot more bearable. ;-)

      Thanks Bill ! didnt you put a post about buds up ?

      I went out in an ice storm for apic, posted it and your posting dissapeared ? lol

      We got 6" of snow on Wednesday, plus 1/4" freezing rain on top of that, followed by another 4" of snow, all overnight. Then the temps went back down into the single digits at night and 20's during the day.

      With our three to four feet of snowpack this year, it might take another 3-4 weeks to warm up enough for things to grow.


      Sorry but someone else can start that thread if they want. :-)
