This summer my mornings consist of early walks and lots of time in the garden. As much as I enjoy blogging I’ve been embracing time away from the computer to the fullest. Gardening is one of the most rewarding hobbies. Planting and nurturing a living object and watching it grow is an amazing experience to me. It takes a lot of trial and error – sometimes things work and sometimes they don’t for whatever reason. Lucky for us we’ve had a good bit of rain since we planted our front yard garden and installed our cobblestone sidewalk almost a year ago. Everything is well established (growing like crazy) and green. A couple of gardening tips: 1) Amend the soil before you plant. 2) Add osmocote, a slow release fertilizer, each time you plant a new plant. It lasts 3 months and never burns. 2) I spray all of the new plants, flowering plants, and vegetable garden once a week with Miracle Grow and this feeder that easily attaches to the garden hose. I believe those things have made the biggest difference in the health of the plants. Do you have any gardening tips?
Love it. I could move right in. It looks like something in a movie. 😀

You have a beautiful yard! Such nice curb appeal.
I also think for container gardens, that you cannot beat the Miracle Grow potting soil!
Your home is one of my favorites, so much beautiful curb appeal! Your gardens look gorgeous Rene!
Your yard looks incredible….unfortunately this year I didn't get any planting done! Just too busy and I'm sad about that:(
