Friday's in the Garden...Garden Tours

Hi Everyone...yeah, I'm leaving my hood and going on some garden tours (virtually of course).

I was in full garden stalker mode this week, and I stumbled across some lovely home gardens. Here are just a few that more than caught my eye....

Great tips for Herb gardening at The Morning Latte

How to make a Miniature Garden (aka Fairy Garden) over at Less-Than-Perfect-Life

If you have a garden, I would love to tour it...send me an e-mail. Happy Mother's Day weekend!

Lavender Fields

I was thinking about lavender the other day. I miss growing it. In California, it was easy to have an abundance of it. I have not had the same luck in New Jersey (zone 6 that acts like a 5). I am not sure if I miss the smell or the look more?

If you have had luck growing lavender in a colder climate, I would love to know about it.

A New Movie House to Dream of

Don't you just day dream over some of those homes in the movies? I know I do. In fact, this one

from Something's Gotta Give, is still in my dreams!

Then, there was this one

From It's Complicated. I want that garden....even if it's not real

What about The Lake House

It looks like a life-size terrarium!

Well, now there is a new movie house to dream about

The house from Jumping The Broom....I think it's my new favorite!

Happy Monday

Gardening in my mind

This is my first post ever!.......total silence.
The snow is finally melting and I am planning a renovation of my current vegetable/cutting garden. The raised beds are about 10 years old, and could use a face-lift. I have also decided to focus more on vegetables and less on flowers, so plenty of transplanting in the near future.

This is my inspiration for my Potager Garden - A French version of the "Kitchen Garden".
