1. have you or will you be planting a flower garden(even little planters for small areas or window boxes)what flowers?

-> I have planted flowers in the flower beds out front. I'll probably plant some in the containers for the deck later.

2. do you have bird feeders & birdbath?

-> Hummingbird feeders only.

3. do you like wind chimes & garden decor ?

-> Yep

4. do you have a sitting area nearby to enjoy?

-> We have the deck and a park bench under the trees by the shed, but I need to clean and repaint the bench. Mildew does a number on stuff out here.

5. do you grow any veggies? what kind?

-> I have in containers, but they don't do too well out here due to the soil and temperatures. Have had vegetable gardens before and love having one.

***BONUS***

if you could put a garden pond in your yard ...what would it be like? would you have fish in it?

-> I could, but I won't. Too much maintenance and they are costly too.

1. have you or will you be planting a flower garden(even little planters for small areas or window boxes)what flowers? We have two beds in front of the house. The smaller one has three holly bushes that we keep medium height. In front of those we planted two rows of Impatients that are bright pink with white centers. In with the plants were one in a deep pink and one a coral color. Instead of taking those back as I didn't see that they were mixed in until we got them home, we planted one on each end of the others. The larger bed on the other side has several bushes that I don't remember the name of. In front of those are several carpet rose bushes. In front of those are leafy verigated

One is in front and has perrenials in it - Poppies, Daffodils, something I think is called Heleboros and (hopefully) daylilies. Also, I put a double hanger thingy in amid the plants and have put small petunias in two baskets and

I know of a lady who lives in MN who has a large Koi (big gold fish) pond in her yard. It's beautiful, but is a huge job to take care of. There is much to do to winterize it and then they take the fish out and put them into large fish tanks inside their home for the winter. In the spring, there's a lot of work getting it ready for the warm seasons cleaning, plants, etc. Then they have animals come that kill the fish and then there's disease and lots more to contend with. She's a slave to that pond, but she's the type of person who goes
