How lovely to see your oleander flowers, I bought 3 oleanders this summer, they are still small and I intend to grow them outside in pots – and hope for the best. Depending on what kind of winter we get they will either survive or die. I like pushing the boundaries a bit with my planting!

When you put them all together in a post like this it's very impressive. Also impressive is the work your husband has put in on the garage area and the garden beds he has built. I know you must be really enjoying planning what to plant in them.

I'm enjoying every step of the process bringing them to life. I can't wait to start planting. Daylilies are fabulous aren't they?

Love the color of your oleander. And your lilies! Oh, they are worth replanting every year! I have decided to start adding more daylilies to my garden - they are so easy and such blooming machines.

I haven't had much of an opportunity to create garden beds here. I've built two rather small ones so far, but that's all. I can't believe that there will be even more beds to play with!!! My darling did a brilliant job. It wasn't an easy thing to do at all, given that there's such a slope in the area.

This post was no disappointment. Your dear husband did a fantastic job with the parking garage and your beds, the choice of brick color very nice, as it is neutral and every thing will look great with it. I can hardly wait to see how all of this fills in and grows. It's exciting and inspiring.<br /><brFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2053337601505232620.post-54508952629362599912013-10-20T15:54:02.865+10:002013-10-20T15:54:02.865+10:00Thanks Virginia, I think OT really made the best c...Thanks Virginia, I think OT really made the best choice of colour. It's turned out very well. I've been planning what to plant for a little while now, but keep changing my mind. I'm definitely going to have to make some firm choices soon. I won't start planting though until the rains arrive.BernieHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435004798656616711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2053337601505232620.post-13864723248347646202013-10-20T15:33:33.676+10:002013-10-20T15:33:33.676+10:00Bernie what a good job your husband has done in co...Bernie what a good job your husband has done in completing the new garage area.
