Your flower pictures are always so beautiful and I'm sure that next year will be an amazing success for you! Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a great day! @karenb54
Beautiful pictures Karen! Begonias are lovely flowers... we just have so many free roaming deer around here, and they evidently think begonias are a delicacy, so we've given up on that... except in pots on our upstairs terrace.
I keep threatening to create a rainbow garden. We have fake rainbow flowers in a hanging basket at front of our door and have orange crocosmia and a yellow gladioli type thing in the back garden. I really have no idea what flowers when, so will have to read up and take lessons from you. Maybe next year we will add another couple of colours.
Excellent work dear friend @ karenb54, a humble opinion not to suffer these consequences, mada make an iron structure and put a half shadow these will protect you from the rains and the days of sunshine, I am working on that for the garden that I'm harping, I hope my comment is useful
Have a great day
Planning ahead is so hudge, most of my gardens in the past had been to willy nilly, this year I adopted the SQft gardening method and am NOT looking back :]
That's one nice thing about posting to a blog, too. It gets us to take photos - and then we have those photos as references. It's so easy to forget what actually happened. It looks like your flowers are doing really well. Maybe next year, you might try a plant that would cascade over the sides of your half-moon planters -- like a trailing nasturtium. You could even eat those! :D
There was a nice post about Nasturtiums by @sardrt last week. They aren't the trailing kind, but you can see how their flowers and leaves are, and there's a nice picture of them growing on a hillside.
Lovely flowers, I really, really want to get a flower garden going, but I never seem to find the time for it! It will probably happen once the kids are on their own :)
I'm so glad I found you on here! I am trying to figure out what to grow in my garden and I love your suggestions. My neighbor has the most beautiful red begonias - and I'm inspired to plant some at my house next year. Thanks lady!
Yeah, I love also that they seem to come in so many colors. I have a lot of squirrels and rabbits - do you have trouble with the critters eating your beautiful flowers?
Cool, karenb54, always nice to see people taking matters into their own hands.
Thank you for visiting :)

That would be amazing to watch Deer wandering around your garden, I am so jealous :)
Like your book :-)

Beautiful Flowers.
This is my first year,its been fun Thank you :)
I have impatients in my garden, they are so tough and flower most of the time
Do they die off or come back each year, I'm new this gardening lol :)
hi karen, depends on the type of impatients, some die off and come back. My ones don't seem to die off.
I wonder if mine will, only time will tell, Thank you :)

Thank you, I will make a note of them and give them ago, I wanted something that hungover thanks again :)
You're welcome. Nasturtiums should like your climate, too. There are so many plants to try in our gardens! :D
I have made a note of them and going to check them out on the internet, I need to see what they look like :) Thank you

Ohh that's great thanks I will go take a look Thank you :)
Lovely flowers, I really, really want to get a flower garden going, but I never seem to find the time for it! It will probably happen once the kids are on their own :)
Try doing 1 pot at a time, the kids could get involved :)
beautiful upvoted
Thank you :)
I'm so glad I found you on here! I am trying to figure out what to grow in my garden and I love your suggestions. My neighbor has the most beautiful red begonias - and I'm inspired to plant some at my house next year. Thanks lady!
Definitely go for Begonias, they are easy to grow and look beautiful :)
Yeah, I love also that they seem to come in so many colors. I have a lot of squirrels and rabbits - do you have trouble with the critters eating your beautiful flowers?
I would be so lucky, would love to see squirrels and rabbits
Wait why don't you see any? What animals do you have?
I have 2 dogs and live in a built up area :)
Well you are certainly making the absolute most of it with your garden!
I am going for it lol :)
Good idea! I am glad so many of your flowers survived that monsoon you had.
Thank you, So am i :)
Nice garden needs nice planning:)
Very true :)
