Still gathering tools and equipment. More gardens to come - I am pacing myself. After all, I am not young any mmore.
Gotta have a sun hat
Gloves and a garden log
Helps to have good, running equipment - I don't
My garden looks better from a distance.
Color among the weeds.

Pretty ones Roxie.
Thank you, I love seeing the bearded irises, we can't grow those in Fla. And are those chives on your porch? Nice.

This coming week is "National Garden Week" here in the US. Got a garden? Visited one recently? I prefer to look at gardens rather than work in them. First you have to gather the tools, get out the bug spray, dress for ticks, put liniment or Ben Gay on back and joints. So, let's see your gardens...
If you need a Job Miss Patti I'll hire you.....My contribution for National Garden Week....Titled "His Morning Garden".....

Pat, I love these photos! So funny, I started my day with the biggest smile. I am posting a couple of collages and maybe one or two others. These will be my only photos for this challenge as I am not home this week and can't get to my files. But these are from my yard. We have had severe draught this spring so not much looks good this year so far. I tend to plant things to attract butterflies and pollinators.
Wonderful work...

Some from our gardens, Maggie has a green thumb. The rose bushes along the driveway came with the house, Maggie added some to the front yard along with many other plants. I dead-head the roses and prune them.
Maybe I should hire you instead of Miss Patti.....Great gardens and pics...

I don't see chives in my photo of the porch steps, my daughter in law does grow some herbs in pots and my mom used to have chives in a side garden back in Connecticut.
