This is a very early season photograph of my garden. I have since removed the water barrel and filled the empty spaces with annuals. My goal for next year is to replace the tall "prairie garden wild flower" plants with some smaller and more appropriate perrenials. I am also going the bite the bullet and attempt to train my climbing rose into something slightly less jungle-like. Thanks for visiting!!
What I planted in 2001:
- Red onions
- Tomatoes
- Morning Glories
- Portulaca (Moss Rose)
- June Bearing Strawberry Plants
- Snapdragons
Most everything survived the harsh Colorado winter and grew back bigger and better than ever, my lastest endeavor is my half barrel water garden. The items that did not survive the winter are my irises (the clay content in the soil water logged them) and my strawberries from last year.
What did I plant in 2000?
