The evolution of Regina’s roadside garden in Illinois

Happy Memorial Day , everyone ! Today ’s photos are from Regina Bunning ( akatrashywoman62 ! ! ) . She says,“I live out of doors of Taylorville , Illinois , on about two acres . We locomote here in August 2003 from a menage in town that took me 20 minutes to mow with a energy mower , so the massive expansion on 1000 was both wonderful and daunting !

“ As you may see in the estimation photo there was not much move on other than the old oak tree diagram and green grass . That fall , having plantitis , we dividedtwo varieties of hostas from my honest-to-god business firm and made many babies and planted them along the front of the house and plant a few electric-light bulb around the Jane Magnolia at the front door . The next couple of years we repainted the trim on the theatre and added a tear track fencing to “ frame the picture ” . I was amazed at the change those two particular made . So , as the level goes , I go plant shopping !

“ Over the grade of several class , my in - sign of the zodiac laborer has taken an interest in the actual plants , not just building , move , pass around , and digging . His shift was both howling and unmanageable . I could not have done this without his help but sometimes he acts on his own , which is often contradictory to the wishes of the Head Gardener ! But when I was ineffectual to figure out in the garden for a couple of years , he was right there weeding and spreading new mulch without being asked . The garden survived those two age because of him . And his maintenance was done usually on the one or two days he had off because he was an over - the - road hand truck machine driver . I razz him and say he goes back to work to pillow . ”

Wow , Regina , that was a huge undertaking , and it look amazing ! Thanks so much for sharing!****much more info in the captions * * *
