I just planted Truffula Pink Gomphrena yesterday with some Dusty Miller yesterday. I was so excited to find it! I looked at the Proven Winner website for nearby garden centers and the fourth place I shopped at had it. I planted them out by our mailbox which is very hot and dry. There's also a pink Knockout rose, purple salvia (that's over 13 years old) and Stargazer lillies. I had an entire bed of perennials there but discovered I don't enjoy working that bed too much as it's right ny the road and people drive crazy. even though we're not on a busy road. Also there's Bermuda grass that I'm constantly fighting with. So I had planned to put grass seed out there but never got around to it. I'm experimenting with annuals in this area as I can yank them out when they're done and start over.

I like the idea of a couple more of the hydrangeas continuing that line across the front to connect the old part of the house to the new part making it feel all cohesive rather than something new introduced that then kind of emphasises that it is different. But whatever you do, I know it will be beautiful: . Thanks for all the inspiration. I live in a dry part of Australia with limited water (rain water in tank storage only) so can't do annuals very much but last year, after watching so many of your pretty annual planting videos, I made three gardens in some old tyres that I am using as my 'annuals' garden just to have something lovely when I look out into a garden full of hardy shrubs: .

I absolutely love your gardens and symmetry is something important to me in landscape and houses too. Although it is hard sometimes on an older home that may have had additions, to balance the look I think it is important and can make a huge difference. I love your house but I would balance the front entrance though it may be a bit of a job. I would unify the front into one continuous porch with a more open look and a double door entrance. Having all the same windows makes a difference too. But I am sure the gardening probably keeps you too busy right now to tackle that job but maybe in the future. Thanks for all the great gardening information.

I would add a water Feature. Not like a pond. But, we found a really cool one very inexpensive that is beautiful. our is about 4 foot tall urn shape with a self recycling pump. Just a thought. I watch you more than I should. I could get a lot more gardening done if I didnt take so many breaks to watch you work in yours. Lol. Its all so beautiful. We live in Cartersville, ga extremely hot and the humidity makes our 90 degrees feel like 100. Its hot. Very mild winters though. Oh, your son is beautiful. I have 7 grandchildren now, a couple of the girls love gardening even my baby grandson. I enjoy it so very much. Blessings to you and your family.

Do you have a botanic gardens in your area? I'd go & see what they've got as specimens. I'm thinking deciduous, so as not to block any light inside the house in winter. For winter interest, Cornus Mas, or, perhaps saucer magnolia (pink or white) if they grow there? A big shrub, pruned to a milti-stem tree- Siberian pea shrub is AWESOME pruned to tree shape, and the benefit is shrubs grow faster than trees? A multi-stem Mountain Ash, Shubert Chokecherry, or Hornbeam? Japanese maple in a beautiful container is a great choice, too. So many varieties! Does the tri-color beech stay small enough?

Because of your gardening, I'm now planting annuals this yr, actually I've been sick of seeing the same things the last, I hate to admit, TEN yrs. Thanks to the squirrels using my mimosa tree as a springboard to the roof I've now got a shade garden that gets full sun nearly the entire day, so I'm pretty excited about starting over an plan to change it up with more annuals this time around.

My opinion only. If house front is different I would treat right side different. I personally love the railing on those steps and wouldnt have those urns there. I would embrace the railing and use it as a jumping point. They urns are lovely but I would put them else where. Always lovely watching creative work. Thanks for sharing.

I loved these Globe Amaranth when you planted them this past spring but failed to find them in my area, however; finally saw them at the NC State Fair this weekend, they are gorgeous. They are so whimsical, airy and lovely and your wreath is fabulous. Thanks for all the inspiration!

You need to remove the lawn on the left so that bed is the same size as the bed on the right. They don't match! doesn't that annoy you? It would me and I know you are far more formal and structured than I am in my garden. It seems like making those beds match is an easy fix.
