MY GARDEN TOUR 2009

Here is some pictures of my garden tour that we had on Sunday July 19th. Smell the Flowers Garden Tour to benefit the Steinback area Soup Kitchen. The tour was from 12:00 to 5:00 .There was 10 gardens opened to the people that had bought tickets .I had 46 people come through my yard by 4:00 out of the 100 tickets sold.I'm told they usually sell 200- 300 tickets .I welcomed some of the people not all.Some I spoke to wanted to know about my Martagons Lilies, not knowing what they are .There were mothers and daughters ,husbands and wives ,two men came together.It was a nice day to have a garden tour.

John and I had to leave for a BBQ at his sister so some came while we were gone .
The lady in charge never got back to me till the day before ,I wasn't even sure I was still on their list .She apologized for not coming to see my garden before hand. But she was totally impressed when she put the sign up at the road .
The people that came were very impressed at the beauty and all the different plants I had and that there were no weeds. It was a nice day for all even me I didn't stress about it.

I was glad the yard looked nice ,considering the colder than normal weather we've had . Seems the plants don't mind .I was holding off on moving plants before the tour,so now I can .

Well I must not have finish this post .My pond is doing great this year.
The lilies are in bloom .I have only ever used bull rush roots and water plants to keep the water clean .I haven't decided if I want hydro there after all these years .
