Backyard Pictures 2005

I wanted to post my pictures from the backyard from last year because we were so proud of it. NOW we are not. Not many of my perennials came back from last year which was really disappointing, not to mention the money we had spent. I am going to post this years pictures and hopefully get some feedback about what I can do to change things.

These are my nasturtiums that I planted from seed. My friends said I planted them too late in the season and look what happened. I ended up with mutant plants

These are my morning glories. I put about five plants there and they covered up the gas meter perfectly by the end of the season. I loved them.

This a view of the deck from the backyard.

These are the morning glories I planted. Before there had been a wild rose bush that we cut out, you can see if coming back. Also there are my sundrops which never came back this year.

What kind of suggestions do you want, and are you looking to spend money, or start from seed? Are you looking hardscape ideas? Plants? What?? Gimme some idea's of what you are wanting to do, and I'm sure I can come up with some idea's for you.

Well, I am willing to spend some money, but not tons, I want more perrenials than I do annuals and I want colour :) I will not start from seed as I have nowhere to do that kind of thing.

You can direct sow your seeds right in the ground where you want the plants to be. You don't need to get all fancy with starting seeds. Go look at my blog, I posted stuff just for you. :)
