Nerdin Gardens: Something Really Special

 

Every year, the anticipation of another successful growing season in the back yard home garden gets us excited. My husband aka Mr. Green Jeans, has a way of taking spaces and turning them into something really special, as you can see here.

 

 

Ensuring all processes are in place, like adequate water to each plant, bush and tree are essential for uniform growth. Successful gardening also requires being present, remaining diligent through setbacks plus using common sense.

 

 

All around us the flowers are blooming and the greenery bursting with gifts to enjoy later this summer. The garden has become a place of rest for us, relieving the stresses that come from busy work week schedules.

 

 

Every year the growing list of fruits and vegetables changes for our needs. In the past, we have grown 6 varieties of tomatoes, zucchini, pumpkins, cucmbers, collard greens, a bevy of peppers, artichokes, peas, beans, , strawberries, grapes and muscadines. 

 

 

My husband is a master gardener | green thumb and possesses the ability to grow plants easily and create relaxing spaces for everyone's enjoyment. His rose garden is nutrient rich, healthy, magnificent when in full bloom. I'm impressed!

 

 

Peace roses, red roses, white, roses, coral roses, yellow, lavender roses and miniature roses offer a bright spot of color as well as white, yellow and pink Hollyhocks with vibrant snapdragons. Hanging flowers baskets pop with bright hues.

 

 

Maintaining a home garden takes much work and dedication. We pull the weeds ourselves, opting out of poisonous herbicides or pesticides. While we are unable to control what other producers add to their methods, we can and implement our own.

 

 

This concludes the tour of Nerdin Gardens and have a fantastic day. I have been called to the office, hope it's just as fruitful like our home garden! p.s. Thanks to the nudge, this all-natural is post is dedicated to Kathy Streib.

Wow Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! that is beautiful, yes, I agree your husband is very talented. Makes my efforts look miniscule. However, I do enjoy what I do and am always looking forward to seeing how things work out. I remember someone saying a garden is always a work in progress.

Thank you, Lise Howe. Am putting what has been produced so far to best use. The jalapeño plum jam came out amazing, today, it’s figuring out what to do with an abundance of tomatoes!

Your comment made me smile, thank you for that, Dorie Dillard Austin TX! Mike is out in the yard seven days a week, it is his place to unwind and mine to appreciate and occasionally weed and pick.

Oh my goodness, Wanda, and wow, wow, wow! Calling your husband a "master" gardener might just be an understatement. Your garden is simply gorgeous.

Wanda- you made my day!   Every summer I look forward to your posts AND photos of Nerdin Gardens and this one did not disappoint. When we lived in Florida, I had over 100 orchids but they were easy to care for. Nothing compared to your garden. tell Mr. Green Jeans that his garden always brings a big smile to my face. 

I was just mentioning you to someone I was speaking with last week. They'd been in Utah and loved it. I told them about your silo!

THANK YOU so much for the feature in your weekly series, Posts Just For You, Kathy Streib, it is so appreciated. So far this growing season, I've made strawberry freezer jam, plum & jalapeno jam, collard greens, stewed tomatoes and a fresh salsa.

Zucchini relish and sweet chili sauce will be next as the garden continues to produce!
