Tell us what plants you have in these beautiful beds. I love the top right photo. Is that tall phlox with bee balm on the outer edge?

The next to last photo has a beautiful white plant - what's that?

Hi Kathy,

Thank you for the compliment.

The top right photo is indeed bee balm(a red and a deep purple), phlox(pink) and purple cone flowers. I just love that combination!!

The next to last photo(with the truck) the white plant is a Feverfew. One of my favourites.

Thank you for all the wonderful pictures and ideas! There are blessings & challenges to "sharing" a love of gardening! I so wish there was someone in MY family besides me that loved the dirt.

Lee Anne,
Thanks for the info - I love tall phlox and will be using that combination in my garden this year. I ordered tons of white David phlox and will use the red bee balm to circle the phlox. Feverfew is now also on my new plant list. Stunning photos and great garden ideas.

I also wish there was another garden buddy in my family - you are very lucky to have a shovel man too.

A great story and life you have.

Your like my family back in 73 we moved from city to the sticks, no plumming , built our cabin and grew a garden, and learned a whole lot of things that you just got to do to get the full impact of. Going out to the outhouse in knee deep snow and wrapping bricks in newspaper that have been heated on top of the wood stove to keep your toes nice and toasty while we slept. Taking baths in a stock tank from water haul from the pond. Everyday was exciting with new challenges. I'm glad I had part of that life. oh and I'm still living in the sticks : )

Your story brought back memories and I do thank you.

Such pretty gardens you have.

tc and happy gardening all three of you : )

Thank you.

I also remember, vividly, the walk to the outhouse in knee deep snow. Heating the water on the wood stove to wash or do dishes. Washing my hair in water right out of the rain barrel. I really miss that old cabin.

Everybody should experience that way of living at least once in their lives.
