I love gardening…all kinds of gardening which includes flower gardens, flowering bushes, herb gardens and veggie gardens.
Well, about 4 years ago when we bought this house we planted 8 scrawny looking Azalea bushes and while it has taken 4 years, they all flowered this year and have quadrupled in size! (Thanks Miracle Gro).
We have several red ones, a few pink ones and purple ones too! I think in the Fall I will plant 1 or 2 white Azalea bushes to go along with the other ones and put them between my property line and the neighbors. (Perhaps it will help to deter their dogs from coming over here).
Last week all 8 of our Azalea bushes came out into full bloom and they look beautiful and they smell sooooo good! All of the neighbors have been over to check them out as ours looks better than theirs! hahaha! I didn’t tell them about the Miracle Gro so shhhhh on that!
Hubby is going to plant my annuals this coming weekend as we got delayed in putting them in due to all of the cool & rainy weather we have had the past 3 weeks. I will get photos of my flower beds once they are all looking nice next.
Do you love flower gardening? If so, what kind of things did you plant this year? We would love to hear all about it!

One word – gorgeous!!!
Love that shade of pink
The Azalea bush on the side of my house (a large dark pink one) is so large that hubby has to trim it down after it’s done blooming. It is seriously huge and about 8 foot tall by 12 foot in diameter. I think I hit it too much with the Miracle Gro LOL
My mom has a beautiful one like this in her yard but I did not know what it is!
We have Azaleas , but they aren’t all in full bloom like yours. Perhaps I should try Miracle Gro! Ours are red and when they bloom they are so beautiful and add a lovely splash of color to the house.
Your azaleas are beautiful! Makes me wish I didn’t have a condo but instead a house with a yard.
Fabulous capture! I love Azaleas!
Beautiful. Isn’t it wonderful when plants all come back and really bloom. I have some hydrangeas and a fe other flowers. I love the colors, smell, and beauty of them. They really brighten up my house and get me into the warmer weather. My daughter typically plants some tomatoes and peppers too, but this year hasn’t due to the weather. Homegrown tomatoes have such a wonderful taste.
The azalea bushes are really nice, i love the vibrant colour. i wish i could do more gardening (hard on my back) but i did get the surprise of quite a few wild violets this year. 🙂
It’s great to see your Azaleas – they don’t grow well in Colorado. My lilac is just about to bloom.
I love Azalea Bushes! They are so vibrant and pretty this time of the year! I have my tulips blooming and I like my bushes getting ready to bloom called peonies!
