Note in the far background the new wooden steps I built Lois for our 34 th anniversary gift - as we age gracefully we will need stairs to go down to the lower gardens on the hillside!

Good to "see" you, Bruce!

Lower bed shaded by peach trees I grew from pits ( of great eating peaches) - takes 4 years here with good rains to get this high. Will cut them down in 2-4 years when the oaks and walnuts get tall enough

This yard was bare when I started landscaping it 7 years ago

I so enjoy seeing what others have accomplished in their gardens no matter how small or large. Thanks for adding more pictures.

This is the time of year we need to see everyones pictures from their gardens. Come on everyone and show us your pictures.

Here in zone 5a there are no green leaves any longer, except for hellebores. We had already nights down to 27F, and there is no hosta standing. Therefore there is no picture to show. Tonight we might have our first snow.

It is easy to pick up the yellow hosta leaves, pull them out and put into recycle paper bags for yard waste pickup. Most of the hosta leaves are now gone and the plant crowns covered with chopped tree leaves. This year my old blower / vacuum broke, and I bought a new one with sharp metal blades and slightly higher speed. That was a lot of fun mulching tree leaves, even the wet ones, and lateron placing them right back as mulch on the hostas.

Enjoy the last good days. Here I am waiting for spring.
