Your yard is so impressive and I love the real Maltese on it the best. :thumbsup:I just love the serene look and feel to it. Funny Marj mentioned Dutchess County because that's where my mom's farm was and we had huge lawns (5 acres that I mowed thankfully on a power mower- no one had landscapers those days) that were grass, clover and weeds. But it always looked luxuriously green and we didn't use any of those chemicals that I think are cancer causing. My mom had peonies, lilacs, rose of sharon, flox, roses, and tons of other flowers and berry bushes. And then a big vegetable garden.:aktion033:
Now as a grown up living in an apartment --I leave my "backyard" to the NYC Parks Dept. :HistericalSmiley: I have a pot of herbs on my window sill. :blush: My yard in Vermont is impossible. First year we built it i bought about 100 tulip bulbs, someone at my job was ordering too, to plant in our first home with a yard. With every shovel into the ground we'd hear "CLUNK." Rock everywhere. My DH said the only way we'd be able to plant is with dynamite. :w00t::w00t: So I do container planting and hanging baskets.
