Sue’s “There’s no place like home” garden in Texas

Today ’s photos are from Sue DeRoche in The Woodlands , Texas . She says,“My sweetened friend Jerry & I went on a vacation up the East Coast & into Canada for 3 months in 2011 to start the hot summer here . When we returned I was sooo glad to be home plate & the survey sunup I separate Jerry that I have been everywhere and seen everything and I just do n’t want to go anymore .

I informed him that I was going to expound the terrace and add an outdoor kitchen and fire pit , and have a garden hideaway built with fount , orotund boulders , and tons of plants and tree diagram that bloom . I keep with the task start in November 2011 and completed everything in March 2012 .

The very first year , in June 2012 , we won 1st place in the Home & Garden show in our area . I am so astonied and grateful for what I see , feel , and smell every morning as I head outside with my cupful of hot afternoon tea into the beauty in our private paradise . I have loved flowers and plant my entire life and ca n’t envisage lifespan without them . We have wench , bees , and butterfly enjoying this with us also .

The plant in our garden are just about everything . We have dwarf gardenias , midget bottlebrush , pittosporums , agapanthus , wench of paradise , irises , society Allium sativum , daisies , genus Dianthus , colossus , impatiens , lantana , foxtail ferns , many Knockout roses , cosmetic Gunter Wilhelm Grass , red baby , petunias , snapdragon , milksop , genus Alyssum , two crepe Vinca minor tree diagram , two Bradford pear trees , one redbud tree , one Nipponese blueberry tree diagram , one Charles Hardin Holley tree , one purple plum , and two vitex tree , one ‘ Little Gem ’ magnolia , sweet olive bush , butterfly stroke chaparral , honeysuckle vines , jasmine vine , Texas inscrutable pharynx vine , and many more that I simply can not put a name to .

If there is an opening in any bed , then I add a bloom . Almost everything flower at some time of the year so I always have the beauty of prime . ”
