Photo Gallery: Highlights from 2009

Last updated on December 2nd, 2011

Happy New Year! That’s me above, standing before the window garden in the guestroom. I thought we could start the year by looking back at the gardens, indoors and out, from 2009. Click each photo in the photo gallery to enlarge.

February: Bulbs and azalea bloom in the Music Room window garden

 

The library window is also a delight in February

March: Sifting leafmold for potting soil

 

April: Lettuce and Peas in the Kitchen Garden

The same lettuce and peas in May

The grand lilac ‘Avalanche’ towers over the front porch in May. What fragrant bouquets it provided for the house!

Lily, proving that Vinca minor flourishes in full sun, and makes a nice bed, too.

The boxwood and rose garden in early June

The garden in July and August provides an abunance of flowering annuals and perennials for house-bouquets

Do you remember the delicious Puffed Herb & Cheese appetiziers we made in August?

September is all about Irises, especially the reblooming kinds, like ‘Immortality,’ above

 

This ancient beech was the last tree to part with its leaves in the fall, delaying garden clean-up until a few days before December’s first storm.

The first snowstorm of December was a doozy, cloaking the boxwood in a rich, white frosting
