We're in zone 3-5, depending. I think I'm more 4-5. Amazing what we can grow

up here. We just have to find those things that have a rather short season and that like cool weather. What grows up here, grows very well with all the daylight in summer. I usually have broccoli and Sugar snap peas in the garden, but not this year. Just flowers. Green beans don't do well. And tomatoes and zuchhini are iffy. must find a nice warm spot for them. Cukes and such are best left to the greenhouse. My kitties are in paradise in the summer. They just are allowed in the backyard while I'm out, but it's so fun to watch them in their jungle.

The blue flower spikes are catmint. A Canadian variety that goes crazy.

Thank you. I'm honored. It's been my therapy this summer. Sad to see it so soggy this week.

 

[pat-nocal]

I did too.

 

[angak]

I bet people won't believe it's an Alaskan garden. LOL

 

[pat-nocal]

It looks a heck of alot better than mine does right now which is browning out from the intense

summer sun and heat.

Ang, can you send us a nice snow photo in the winter? )

 

[junebug]

Ang, that is just gorgeous! I can almost smell it just looking at it!

 

[debbie_in_ga]

OMGosh!!! It looks like an English country garden! What beauty - thanks for posting!

 

[angak]

Ha, no problem there! We already have fresh snow on the mtn tops. called "termination dust"

for the termination of summer. Wahhh.

Ang, I'm in Zone 2!! I'm amazed anything grows up here, but it does.

Oh Ang...

it is one of the most beautiful gardens I have seen. I love the stones and your plants are just gorgeous. It's funny how creativity crosses lines like cooking, sewing, gardening, etc.
Kudos to you! Here is a site you might be interested in called Dave's Garden.

Ang, I used to plant flower borders for a living, and this is exactly what I aspired to,

but seldom achieved.
