                      |     I can't tolerate the heat anymore due to MS. So I just have a herb garden in a raised bed and container pots on my patio. I have tomato plants and cucumbers. I love growing it on any level!  
 I was excited to find another hanging Black-Eyed Susan this year. One little garden center has them and they go fast!
 Lily June and I enjoy taking care of our small space.

                      | Connie, I love your beautiful flower and soon to be veggie garden in those great pots on your back patio. I think as one ages, raised beds are so much easier to keep and also enjoy without all that bending and stooping.  A hanging Black eyed Susan is a new plant to me and it is beautiful!  I just love that ceramic chicken on the picnic table too!!

                      | Thank you! I can see my flowers from the laundry room window.  I spend  a lot of time in that room! LOL! Winnie, that hen is made of tin. I have 3 of them. Lily June took 2 down to her garden. I found those at Walmart  about 5 years ago.

                      | Thank you for sharing your pics! Plants- whether they be flowers, veggies, shrubs, trees, etc. just bring out the best in us, I think. So calming, so healing. Enjoy your charming oasis! |
