On the left are meshed pictures of the back walk made of pavers and the front walk of freeform limestone. Upper right is a picture of a just planted container with the Lemon Symphony osteospermum, middle are two views of Arenaria montana growing along the arbor walk. Last, is a part shade container grouping of caladium, polka dot plants, and nicotiana, Domino hybrids.

    That is my thing lately- once I’ve posted more of my backlog of photos will resume writing articles.

    More photos please.

    Not that I don’t appreciate a few words to go along with them. But you know the saying – a pic is worth a 1000 words :)

    I’m down in Atlanta this week- thanks, everyone, for the kind comments encouraging the photo efforts:)

    I dug a couple holes in the red GA clay. Will plant a couple azalea bushes… mulch well and hope for the best. This is my daughter’s place… and we need to get her a few tools; can’t keep up the garden without good tools.

Oh, hi there!

I was a garden blog pioneer, and began writing on this blog in 2003. Before that I had begun a garden website that has been at its own domain since 2006, Ilona's Garden.

I still love writing, gardening, and art after all these years, although travel and grandchildren have become a big part of my life, now.
