The vine is nice

It helps give privacy

I like vines

I like that vine, and that first Dahlia is spectacular!

amazing. I bet your neighbours go for a walk by your place every day just to enjoy the beauty you have established.
Fantastic job!! Well done

Very nice gardens and plants! So lush and healthy. Can I ask what you feed them? Thanks for sharing!

-- "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..."

Thank you everyone! I feed them 20-20-20 fertilizer every week, manure and compost. I also water them every other day, even when it rains.

Yes people pass by and look, perhaps they are thinking this crazy guy has used up 80% of his front lawn for planting. LOL I wasn’t happy a couple of weeks ago though, when I got back from work and found a big pile of dog poo near my ornamental grasses.

And this is your first year, right??? Wow

Well done. I envy you those lovely tomatoes. The @#$% squirrels get them here, so I gave up on them. I really like the vine. It gives privacy as well as those bright yellow flowers. Looks good.

nicely done, everything looks fabulous!

I now do my tomatoes in huge containers that have holes in the bottom, they are in full sun, watered 2X a day and are huge and plentiful, gotta love my beefsteak, taste like hothouse, sweet, toasted sandwiches with mayo and salt and pepper!

Oh, yes indeed. They are beautiful texture as well. Nice waxy feel about them. We had them for several years here. I’m thinking of putting them back again, after seeing Bullseye’s here. Thanks for sharing, once again.

Bullseye,... you should be VERY proud of what all you have accomplished this year. Your gardens are gorgeous and that cute little button with wiggly arms, legs and I’m sure a cute little smile is also adorable and something to be proud of :)

Well done!!!!
