I was very lucky with the house we bought when we moved to NY, although it was a total mess inside & outside, there were tons of perennials in the yards. I have spent the last several years moving things around and transplanting into gardens since it was just thrown all over with no rhyme or reason. I have learned a lot about gardening, both for flowers and vegetables and am still learning every summer! Here are some pictures of some of the perennials I love in our yard, most were here but we have added a few here and there too.
Peonies! We have 3 varieties, dark pink, light pink & white - they all smell heavenly!
Rhododendron Lupines
Poppies Lilies
Lilac (we have all 3 type, pale lavender, deep purple {showed you here} & this white)
Remember last summer on this post that I showed our new vegetable garden? Well this year we decided to remove that HUGE Lilac for more room, we have rototilled everything & finally got the garden planted over the weekend. We have sugar snap peas, 4 types of tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, green peppers, cucumbers, green beans, & for the first time cantelope! I am still working on an herb garden with cilantro, dill, parsley, basil, peppermint & chives. Thanks to a friend who overbought strawberry plants I now have a small patch of strawberries to go along with all the other fruit bearers; our Cortland apple tree, 4 blueberry bushes, 4 grape vines, raspberries & blackberries!
