A Trip through Big McLargehuge's gardens (dial up beware)

[BigMcLargehuge]

About a month ago I posted some shots of us here at McLargehuge Acres starting on the spring gardening. Well, at the time some of you expressed interest in seeing how it was coming along. So here are some month old pics and some pics taken yesterday.

If you forgive the pun -- Everything is coming up roses.

4. Wow, what a difference a month makes! Gorgeous!

I haven't even been able to plant annuals yet, here. It still gets below freezing some nights. I'm so jealous! You did a wonderful job. I can't wait to see what another month brings!

5. when the stone garden is in full bloom,

ringed with lillies, and the mock orange trees are blooming, it will be the best picture in the lot I think.

6. Your azaleas are gorgeous!

They're my personal indicator of spring, and you see so very few in Wisconsin. hedges bought me a couple the other day and planted them in the yard...they're wee but they make me happy. :)

Thanks Biggie! :hi:

7. I spent two hours sitting out there listening to the

ten brazillion beez happily pollinating them. It was loud enough to drown out the radio in the kitchen.

8. I lots & lots of beautiful things (btw~ you work too hard) but no roses.

Does that make you guilty of false advertising? :thumbsup:

[BigMcLargehuge]

9. roses aren't in bloom yet

we have three bushes, one under the bug pine, one on the back of the house, and one under the northernmost apple tree.

When the bloom I'll upload those too :)

19. I was only teasing you. I expect to see beautiful flowers.

The landscaping work you've already done wasn't easy but I know you're enjoying seeing the beauty you've created. :thumbsup: Good job!
