Then. . . and Now
07/29/2010
At this point in the Growing-Things season, I like to look at photos to compare the "Then" with the "Now." It's fun to watch how things grow and change. Like. . . here's one of my front door containers "Then" (mid-May):
and "Now" (end of July):
Or my front faux window box . . . "Then":
and "Now":
It's fun to see the changes, don't you think? Here's my front border "Then":
and "Now":
Or my succulent wreath . . . "Then":
and "Now":
My little pond has really changed this year! "Then":
"Now":
(Too bad I couldn't get a "Then" and "Now" photo of my little koi, Boo, for you! He has nearly doubled in size this season. I'm currently looking for a new pond-home for him -- because he's outgrowing his digs!)
I think my favorite change, though, involves my "edibles." Here they are "Then":
and "Now":
When it comes to gardening,
change. . .
is good!
I love it! It's always so nice to see the changing and see that those tiny little plants really do grow up over the course of a few months.

Hi Kym!
The garden looks fantastic - all those colors and textures are perfect. Reading back, I love your lake and river and pool commentary too - I WAS creeped out swimming in the ocean on our vacation as soon as I couldn't see the bottom. Kept thinking dadudadu.... But alas, we have few pools at our disposal! Glad to see your summer is going well - Thea

Very cool! :)
I clicked on the picture of your front border and it looks like a rose bush with bright pink/red blossoms. Do you know what kind it is? It doesn't look like the typical blooms.

The pond and your edibles, especially, are AMAZING!!!
