Garden

[Lilysmom]

@BirkiLady , the dragonfly came from a local hardware store that has a garden Center.  Livens up an area that is really monochrome green.  The other two pieces, the croc and worm, came from a statuary place nearby.

What I find hard to find are quality big planters that don’t weigh a ton and are not too deep.  LM

@Lilysmom   Beautiful gardens.  In the second pic, what is that plant/tree that is "weeping"?  It is so pretty.  How big is it?

[Lilysmom]

@Patriot3 , it is a weeping Mulberry.  It produces berries which the birds like.  Thank you for the kind words!  LM

Like all your pictures. I can't imagine how much work and care that goes into this garden.

Everything is lovely. I love all the details you have put into this! There is something enjoyable to look at every place I look.

@Flatbush , I love outdoors especially in summer and fall.  Come August, the garden is pretty easy to keep.  It is my gym for six months of the year 😊.  LM

@Lilysmom   You're welcome.  That is so different.  How big does it get?  I have a weeping cherry, but it doesn't produce any fruit and gets bigger.

@Patriot3, check here for info about weeping mulberry.

Mine is ten years old and is about six feet tall.  They don’t grow rapidly here (zone 5).  Another nice one is weeping Siberian pea.  See below.

@LilysmomThanks for the info.  I'm in zone 5, too.

@Patriot3 , I would say go for it.  A pretty hardy tree that looks good with little maintenance.  What’s not to love?  Get one on year end clearance and enjoy next year.  LM
