I still just love the beautiful plants around your house! Keep up the good work!

Awesome pictures! This is definitely a garden to love!

These are my favorite roses! When I keep them trimmed off they will keep blooming into October. I had to tie up the bushes so they wouldn't lay on the grass.

I love this picture of my flowers! Thank you for seeing the beauty in them. I love them and I am always amazed at how well they grow. I am not that much of a green thumb.

I love your house! It looks great and so cozy! I wish I could come see it!

Beautiful

WOW, these are really great !

If you could find some horse manure you could make a hotbed...that might extend your season just enough that you could have cucs too.

So much detail :O

Fab Close Up Greenthumb :)

Looks like a Fire Work Display:)

Luv this colour Greenthumb :)

Again very pretty!

This is very pretty!

aye, still beautiful

beautiful colour

cool picture

good shot

looks like you have a raspberry and an oenothera growing beside...that purpleness in the leaves of the nasturtium I remember well...it was a symptom of cold stress... Your arctic summer must be just peaking about now right? You have a lovely little garden going! Congrats!

Great! do you have 60 days frost free up there? give it lots of feedings... My dad used to plant our cucs and pumpkins in "hills" he made a lovely bed with a layer of fertilizer (usually smelts) and topsoil mounded up and culivated to a fare-thee-well. then tucked in the seeds and watered and pretty soon the hills would be little ovens... our pumpkins always got off to a good start...lol.

willhave to look for this one!.

With a name like Dorotheanthus...David really has to see this!

I do too! cleome have always been part of my garden...they self seed..hope they will for you... it's not hard to collect the seed either..I like to see whole Islands of these plants...I have the purple too...had white but it died out...don't know why... Hope you had a good vacation...always great to get back to your garden though, isn't it?

the colour of these is just superlative! such a wonderful "lavender-blue" as my Mom used to call them!

Lovely colour. I guess you need to make the most of your short growing season in Alaska. I can't really imagine what it's like.

WOW ! what a fantasic idea!

I bet the children just love it!

I lkie the striped effect on this one!
