Grammy's Garden

Since I'm always showing y'all my flowers/plants I thought it would be fun to show you my parent's backyard. They always work SO hard on their landscaping/projects and it just looks so good this time of year, I just had to show it off and brag on them a bit!

 

Y'all come on in and take a look!

The view from the back porch. Last summer the hubs and Dad removed all of the old tile and paint in the pool. AKA they chipped away at the pool for days on end. ha! Then they they gave it a completely new coat of paint and brand new tile. My Dad also just re-painted all of the surrounding concrete.

My dad's pride and joy. He just re-built this pergola. They discovered that the old one, that was there when they bought the house, had deteriorated and wasn't worth saving. So my Dad tore it down and built a completely new one from scratch! Talk about impressive. I just had to share this project and give it it's own little mention.

Cute little table/chiminea area. 

 

Mom's garden. This year she has planted onions, basil, lemon mint, chocolate mint, rosemary, and cilantro Most years she also plants tomatoes and sometimes okra (my favorite!).

I seriously could do a blog post JUST on all of her gorgeous flowers. The backyard just looks so amazing now!

Did you notice the blackberries on the collage above? They have an amazing blackberry bush in their side yard that has produced a ton of blackberries this season!

Thanks for stopping by!
