Here it is! My real garden.
I have one of these 'beds' at each end of my clothes line. One of my projects today was to find the naked ladies.
Here is the bed after a first going over. Naked ladies are found doing well. You also get a quick peek at DH at work. The kidney bed is ready for planting dahlias.
Here is a photo of my first sunny perennial bed. See the trim design and all the growing perennials? Of course not. What you see is grass taking over the bed. Redoing it is another task-in-waiting. I could tell you what is planted in there, but I'll let you guess.
Here is my second perennial bed. Nearly impossible to find in the lawn. Winter did a 'thing' on the evergreens as well. Of course, later in the season some of the perennials will pop up from the grass and bloom.
If you look really close you can see sunny perennial bed #3 past the second brown evergreen. Not much better than 1 or 2 looks more like lawn than flower bed.
Okay, Mary. You were wondering who has the most beautiful garden on TEG?
Now, ya'll forget what you've just seen and check out the good parts. I'll get these beds back in order and they'll be better than ever. Nine years of sick doesn't bode well for gardening.

I will quickly forget these pictures and think of those woodsy gardens.
I planted them any place I could find room. They always surprise me when they bloom, since I tend to forget where they where. 
I planted spearmint in my tomato patch in a raised bed. I guess that is not a fail It took over the world and I will have spearmeint FOREVER!!!
I planted the wonderful seeds from Bluejay and only one of the 3 rows I planted came up, well I guess I planted 4 rows because not some are coming up with the second planting of tomatoes!!!
