Boy, this week I feel like we should all have our own special episode on HGTV. The amazing gigi @ afterthoughts picked this weeks subject and what a fantastic choice she made. I love gardens of all kinds and gardening is one of my passions. In Newnan, Georgia we have some amazing gardener's is our midst. Nothing gets you closer to God than digging in the earth and then watching the splendor and fruits of your loving labor unfold before your very eyes. I hope you enjoy our gardens theme as much as I enjoyed taking these snaps.
You've got your veggie gardens. A couple of these are snaps from my very own organic garden.....a couple of them aren't lol...........
You've got your rock gardens. I especially love the little rock garden with the plaque dedicated to "The Victims and Heroes of 9/11 and The Everyday Heroes Among Us". I'm proud to say that I took that at an elementary school near me where I know most of those big hearted kiddos. I also really like the little garden made of handmade mosaic stepping stones........
Then you've got your flower gardens. I so love flowers. Some of these shots are from my very own flower gardens. Then another couple come from one of my best girlfriend's yard. There are 2 from another friend's who is a Master Gardener. I am mesmerized by flower gardens and could spend hours working in mine and hours looking at others. Thenk you gigi for choosing this week's subject..........it's one dear to my heart...........
Thanks so much for visiting with me today!! My gal Patty chose Science Girl's name out of the hat to choose next week's subject......I can't wait for that one, but please girl don't choose chromosomes or isotopes or cells, lol.
Hope everyone has a joyful EXTREME weekend.
Steady On
Reggie Girl
I'm so overwhelmed with so many shooters this Friday I can't remember which one...but somebody did an underwater garden!! Yes, Science girl could come up with a difficult theme...Newton's Laws, nebulae...Bagman suggests reproduction!...can't wait to see what Science Girl comes up with.
ReplyDeleteMagnificent Photos! Needless to say, you have happened upon one of my passions...I work at a garden center! Woo-Hoo! My brand new camera arrived yesterday...let me play with it, let work slow down and I am in on this gig!
ReplyDeleteMake it a good day!

I see some ORANGE flowers in there! :)
ReplyDeleteI really wish we had a vegetable garden again. We did at our old house, but here we just don't have the right place for it.
WOW RG! I dont even have my garden in the ground yet and those are ready to eat! Love all your pictures. Beautiful as always!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post... everything is beautiful! (now Ray Steven's song is going through my head)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Well done!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a stunning variety of gardens, Reggie Girl. Being from the frozen north we are only just beginning to see our first flowers and wouldn't dare plant a vegetable for another month!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
I am loving the flowers, Reggie....gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI have submitted my entry, didn't know if I had to provide commentary or not, but I did a little.
Happy weekend to you too.xx♥
Girl, I love your collection of garden photos. I especially like the last photo in the rock garden. Like the turtles, too.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the garden with the painted canvas. Those flowers and apples are just great!
I also love those little wildflowers by the woodpile.
And you know I love the way you titled the photo of the veggie garden.
Of course, the first photo is just beautiful.
I love them all Reggie Girl. The house yards are nice, too!
We have some shooters this week, eh? Perhaps we should send Oprah a message.
Looks like we truly have a gang, now!
With a garden liek that, how the hell do you find the time to blog?
ReplyDeleteGood Morning, What a beautiful selection of gardens to feature this Friday. I love them all. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteWOW! The flowers are exquisite. What a lovely way to have morning coffee - looking at the beauty of spring. Thanks Reggie!
ReplyDeleteStunning job as usual Girly! All your pictures are beautiful! I will have to say Isis is my favorite all time flower.
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful weekend!
Get your package yet?
Hugs

I am with Yaya, I love the orange (mfc), and I also miss having a vegetable garden (exersize too), but what fun I had writing my story and trucking around New Jersey trying to find a garden; then realizing I live in a garden, lol
ReplyDeleteOh and please tell me I will not be hauling my booty over a fence to break into a science lab, lol
I love flowers and shrubs. Veggies were meant to come from the grocery store.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tour you've offered to us here!!! your beautiful snaps uplift my mood. and now i know who is blessed by God with green thumb ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat theme, nice shots, and good commentary. My favorite? The bright flowers in front of the cord of wood: nice juxtaposition of colors and plant function. (Soon, soon, I'll shoot with the Friday-Shoot-Out Gang.) For now, for now, I can only admire their work... from afar.)
ReplyDeleteDon
Lovely. Iris? It will be months before we see them around here. You might not like our winters, but I wouldn't swap your summers for ours.
ReplyDelete-- Chuck
Lovely gardens and great photos. I can't wait for our gardens to catch up to our more southern friends.
ReplyDeleteOh these are nice! That black and white one had me staring at it for several minutes.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
I am on my second cup of coffee - trying to check out all the amazing photos of the gang members.
Maybe Patty is right, maybe we will be on Oprah.
LOL!
What a beautiful home, and garden!!!! Thanks for sharing!!! I absolutely LOVED this post!!! I LOVE homes and gardens...and yours are tops! Have a wonderful weekend! ~Janine XO
ReplyDeleteWow, a lot of great garden views! Thank you for inviting me to this meme. I would love to join you. My post is here at Music of My Life. Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteThese are some amazing garden shots.......all of them are quite beautiful. Good topic!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos!!! I'm a bit envious of the fact that you actually have SUNSHINE in Georgia!!! I'm not sure how I will react when it reappears here!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful, sunny weekend;)
Waht a nice variety of garden types. My favorite is the mosaic tiles, just because it's so different. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeletethis was a great theme, i so enjoyed joining in...hugs...
ReplyDeleteWow, they're all so terrifyingly neat and well-kept! I'm in awe.
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are absolutely beautiful! They're making me anxious to get out and work in my garden - if only Mother Nature wasn't so busy watering everything for me...so far 8 days straight of rain, but it looks like she's going to be kind and give us a sunny day for Mother's Day! :)
ReplyDeleteNice! Love that first Orange rose! Splendid!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have lots of fun playing in the dirt! me too...something about growing stuff, watching it, smelling it, shooting it...it's all good!
Do you mind if I move in? So beautiful! I will get to that neck of the states someday! Lawn! I LOVE LAWN!!!
ReplyDeleteI did manage to get some pics in for the shoot out! come on by!
Reggie Girl I thought your photos were wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLoved the mosiacs and the photo with the daisies and the logs is so beautiful I would frame it!
I hope we find out soon what the next shoot is about because I usually do it this afternoon or tomorrow ...working long hours all week as I do!
Many hugs my dear new friend,
Sarah Lulu xxx
great job! love the variety of gardens you show and the rock garden is so unique. awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhoo-hoo, pretty, pretty! It's very interesting to see the varieties of flowers in your state in comparison to the ones here in California. I am about to post some "Flowers of the Zoo" soon. Come on by and check 'em out! (And thanks for visiting my "Big Rock, Chocolate & Sex"!)
ReplyDeleteWonderful colours!! Love that first shot! :)
ReplyDeleteYou really enjoyed this Friday shootout, and I like how you categorized your gardens :-) they're easy to browse and read . I like your rock garden and the different colors of daisies. You really have a green thumb with gardening which I don't have :-)
ReplyDeleteHey Reggie Girl--sorry I'm late, but mine's up! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat bunch of gardens.
ReplyDeleteReally need to do a vegetable garden again. Envy you yours. And isotopes (http://www.scientificamerican.com/search/index.cfm?q=isotopes&submit.x=12&submit.y=13) or cells - stem cells?(http://www.scientificamerican.com/search/index.cfm?q=cells&submit.x=34&submit.y=13) would be great topics.
Hi Reggie Girl. Your post is first class, as always. I am always searching for a way to make you laugh. I wrote a poem to go with sciencgirl's theme, just for you. (since you and Patty are our leaders) I posted it today. Walk With Faith, Steady On the ground, Reggie Girl.
ReplyDeleteWe had a great lunch and everyone else is napping before we go out for a show of local music. what am I doning - reading blogs. very nice show of gardens - yours and your friends. Next weeks mass trasit will be hard for me - I don't know this town or our next stop of Bogata.
ReplyDeletewill make my best effort.... hugs from Panama City.
Reggie Girl,
ReplyDeleteLove the opening shot of the rose - the color of that is awesome! I also liked your take on different types of gardens!
