I like the colour of your shed, purple is a big favourite of mine.

I don't have to do much to it other than mow. <BR/><BR/>My garden is slowly going to the flowers. There won't be much lawn to deal with in years to come.<BR/><BR/>I must have missed your purple barn. I will look for it.<BR/><BR/>Mary it does take awhile to get gardens established unless you can afford to do things in one fell swoop. It is nice that a garden can evolve with time. So don't worry your garden will grow up around you and you will wonder how it came to be.<BR/><BR/>Annie, there is no Liatris in this front bed but the other two are there. Plus there is a Golden Alexandra and I have forgotten its botanical name. <BR/><BR/>Yes Q, I have some herbs in the garden. They don't have a bed of their own but are sprinkled in throughout. I grow Bronze fennel, chives, the Parsleys, Pennyroyal, the Tansys and several mints. I try to have butterfly larval host plants as well as blossoms for the adults. I just love butterflies.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-66493451818341199882008-02-10T06:58:00.000-05:002008-02-10T06:58:00.000-05:00Your gardens look full of color to me!

That bed with the soft colors on one side and the brights on the other is brilliant. And what a wonderful garden barn!
