source: scanned image from Victoria April 1995 In observance of Earth Day I am doing an ode to gardening. I fondly remembered the old Victoria magazine's features on gardening and decided to dig them out and see what images I could come up with. I have tore out these features and long since thrown the magazines away. If I knew the the date of the feature I have posted it here as the source, otherwise I don't know the date. source: scanned image from Victoria magazine This was from the magazine and it was also the cover of the magazine. If ever I get to visit England I would love to see a cottage like this. Isn't this rose bush magnificent! source scanned image from Victoria magazine Victoria magazine often took us to England. Here we get a bird's eye view of a spectacular manor house walled garden. source: scanned image Victoria magazine This image is one of the inspirations for my own kitchen garden. Here is a herb garden right out the kitchen door at another manor house. source: scanned image Victoria magazine Always enchanted by a path in a garden. source: image scanned from Victoria magazine Jan. '91 Victoria did many features on white long before I ever remember anyone else showing it. Here they featured an all white garden. source: image scanned from Victoria magazine Jan. '91 The white garden at night becomes a magical place as a moonlit garden. Now, here in my own yard the plants have been spilling over the walk and the flower border with abandon. I just this year have a rose garden. You don't have to spend a lot of money to have roses. I picked these roses up at Walmart last year. I would get a rose every week with the groceries. They only cost around $4 and some change a piece. I have four rose bushes and they have really been beautiful this week. Right out the back door in a shrub a mother robin has taken up residence to raise her young. Not wanting to disturb the nest, I stuck the camera above my head and aimed and caught a peak at the beautiful eggs.

The love for the European lifestyle is real! Its the one unchanging thing about my style. I may add some trendy, new colors, new accessories, but the Old World feel is something I can’t compromise and will always come back to.

Commonly, side yard real estate is ignored. Perhaps a nod to creating a 'nice' pass-through, at most. . They got the memo, below. An entire garden room in their 'side yard'. . More, they completed every layer of the memo. Gravel to the house, no foundation planting, and a wall, evergreen shrubs, for privacy. Pure architecture. Pic, above, here. . Off topic, a sign of the current era of nursery plants, above. Since the debacle of 2008, commercial nursery contraction, retail nursery contraction, wholesale grower contraction, decent plants are rare. Plantings at the edge of the graveled garden room, above, are the new normal. Prior to 2008, my team would have returned those plants as culls. Worse, guessing from the photo, in addition to fertilized spindly growth, they're probably loosely rooted, perhaps a season or 2 from being bumped up into larger containers. In the era prior to 2008 it was considered unethical to sell plants newly bumped up/not rooted in. Now, normal. It gets worse. The new normal costs much more. Labor a huge cost burden to growers, then, again, labor a huge cost burden to crews planting. Patented plants add another layer of cost. . A new generation of labor crew leaders has arrived since 2008, how are they to know the new plants at the edge of the gravel garden room, above, are culls? . For decades, new plantings had to be turned for their best 'front' at planting. Humorous concept, now, when plants have no 'front' at all. See the gravel, above, thru the foliage of plantings along the concrete? In the past, plants were so full of vigorous lush foliage, zero gravel would be visible thru them. . A recent job, we indeed received gorgeous thick lush plants, heavy in their pots & well rooted. Good timing. The wholesaler is probably weeks from bumping up plants that haven't sold, into larger pots. . Of course Home Depot, Lowe's, and Wal-Mart each forced consolidation of the retail nursery sector prior to 2008. Most of their current plant purchases are on contract, with the plant wholesaler agreeing to unload/stock shelves with their employees, and take back plants that die or look poorly. Another layer of cost to you, the retail plant buyer. . Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore. Could not have imagined these industry changes when I began working it ca. 1985. Of course back in those days, it gave me my Garden Design career. The family nursery I worked for did not offer Garden Design, nor keep any employees who did Garden Design. Why? Their attitude was an employee doing Garden Design, on their own time, would steal plants. Why didn't they think an employee doing Garden Design would be buying plants from them? A customer, not thief. Their thinking proved detrimental, they bankrupted & had to sell. Our nursery team mentioned more than once, 'wish they would give us a pay/purchase option in company stock'. Ironically, the company owning that nursery now, is employee owned. Go team ! . Garden & Be Well, XOT

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by today. I found this big traditional country style home which you may like the look of. I couldn’t find a matching facade photo, so you’ll have to use your imagination. It would suit quite a large block because of the garage position. I love…

Welcome to the 532nd Metamorphosis Monday! Several years ago I created a blog post about this beautiful coastal home that was once located on North Carolina’s Inner Banks (River Dunes) in North Carolina. The home was designed by Historical Concepts, an Atlanta Architecture and Design firm, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Coastal Living magazine. Historical Concepts designed the home based on nineteenth-century coastal design, envisioning a home that could have belonged to a sea captain back in the day. They named the home, Captain’s Watch, and it was stunning! I love all the wonderful porches designed to take

Si je vous dis adorable boule de poils , vous allez tout de suite imaginer un chat ou un petit chien. Pourtant, il existe une race de vache dont les bébés sont tout aussi adorables et carrément craquants. Le bovin des Highlands est une race écossaise, reconnaissable par sa robe presque rouge et ses longs poils. Ces longs poils rendent ces vaches parfaitement adaptées aux rudes conditions météorologiques de l'Écosse (fortes pluies et vents)
