Front flower bed with growing plants.
Sunflowers starting to grow.
Dalias.
June 2006
With frequent watering (what drought?) and some TLC, the plants continue to grow.
In the front garden, notice the taller sunflowers.
Meanwhile, on the stairs on the back side of the house, the different pots somehow keep moving their positions.
The purple flowers are called Speedwells.
The front entryway.
Merle even grows veggies.
Oriental Lillies.
Hydrangeas.
And whatever these are (grown from the garden).
With the gardener.
In the flower bed in the front yard with daffodils (yellow) and grape hyacinth (blue).
Compare to appearance after a winter of the lawn going dormant, to the appearance here where it's starting a little to get green again...with the help of some weeds(!) growing in between the blades of grass.
More plants growing means one happy Merle!!
