That smells so good
Comments (13)Thanks for the warm welcome! There are only about 4,500 people that live here, I like hearing from people out in the "real world." =-) I grew up in Chicago & have never had luck growing a garden, but the conditions here are much better so I hope I left my brown thumb back in the states. Blue ocean, yes indeed. Lots of tropical plants. Lots of tourists on vacation too. I'm currently working in a shop & we never get a lot of traffic in here. I would have shared a photo of the ocean, but haven't been to it yet today, so here's a photo of the bananas that are growing in the yard of the house we're renting. I hope they ripen soon! We do have a kitty, well... now I guess I have to say we "share" a kitty. A little tabby started coming around & I started feeding it, and he started coming in the house, and I started buying him toys & now he stays a lot of the time. I thought he was a stray (there are many here), but we had dinner with the neighbors the other night & they were "missing" a kitty, and yup - that's the one. We all laughed. I guess he likes the food I serve better. So now we get him in the evenings, but make sure he's out during the day to visit his old folks....See Morewhat smells so good in your garden?
Comments (41)Oh, its the ROSES! A friend from church (we live down one black on the same street) was walking towards our house to get his car after service and he said he could smell them (we currently have 112)half way down the street well before you even see a glimpse of the house. Here is a very recent pic of the front yard you see coming down the street. This pic was taken standing in the next door neighbor's driveway. Many of the climbing roses here are planted along with honeysuckle, I LOVE the smell, though DH says the best way to trim them would be to get a machete... I just got 6 little heliotrope plants for the children's Secret Garden, to plant around a stone birdbath. I love the honey fragrance! To see more pics of our gardens in our front, back and side yards, and recent landscaping projects, ck out my Picture Trail: careytearose Here is a link that might be useful: look at the Landscaping Projects 2007 and Favorite ROSES we grow albums...See MoreWell friends!

Comments (27)Lot's of leaf loss here and out of bloom for a while now. I hate it that it won't rebloom until next year at this time. I think it's a lck of sunlight around my parts that causes the leaf loss..Oh well:-( Purple, I never heard of a town called Opp..Cool name! I thought that was the abbreviation for youur town.lol It sounds like a place where you can hear a swarm of bees from a mile away and the sounds of a hummin birds feathers flap as it drinks from your food source! What I would do without noise pollution and the every day cars backed up on the roads. To hear the frog peepers make their music on a first warm spring night. We use to until development took over. I once stayed at my sisters house which is a mile into the woods in the country. It was so dead silent there to sleep, that I could here buzzing noise in my ear all night. I never slept thatn night! A place where you can plant an Osmanthus in the ground and enjoy it's size for years to come! Mike...See MoreYard Shots
Comments (28)Thanks again everybody! Brandy, I do get plenty of winter! We get a few snow days every yr. Doesn't last long, but gets pretty darn cold. I hate winter. And I'm no painter! Christin, the garden really smelled more when the irises were still blooming. They're actually "smellier" than most of my roses. I have a word file that I use to keep track of the roses, with locations and info. Plus I have hand-drawn maps of the beds. I have to, or I'd forget exactly who is where! Gary, JOSHUA BRADLEY is a little farther to the left and behind BRASS BAND in that same bed. I don't think it's quite visible....See Moremyermike_1micha
