Aloha Friday #17


Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday. Thanks to Kailani at An Island Life for starting this fun for Friday. I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog . Please be sure to head over to her blog to say hello and sign the Mr. Linky there if you are participating.

My question is:

What do you suggest to plant in a "garden"?

We have a large patch of assorted shrubs (it looks like someone scattered a variety of seeds...super ugly) and we are thinking of ripping it up to plant something.

I have thought of azaleas, roses and tulips.

    This year we planted a bunch of Lily Plants and some Daffodils. Sad to say I think the bunny in the neighborhood got several of the bulbs up and they are gone. Still highly recommend since they are otherwise easy to grow.

    Finding different plants that bloom at different times makes your garden seem ever-blooming and you'll have flowers constantly!

    Actually there are alot of plants available that flower continously so there are quite a number of options and color schemes available! I'd go check out a local plant nursery and see what grows well in your area!

    Tulips are my all-time favorite flowers. I adore them! At my parents' house we had star jasmine in the front yard. They smell heavenly in the evenings and are easy to care for.

    Love to receive roses as a gift but hated having them in a garden. Hate the thorns. Love the azaleas idea & the tulips too. Had both of those once upon a time. Both are beautiful. Head down to your nursery & check out what they have. You might have a blast growing tons of different things.

    Rosemary. It grows really tall and thick and you can cut some off for cooking.

    If I started a garden I'd plant vegetables and herbs!

    I can offer no help here. We pulled up our ugly roses to plant something else this year and now all I have are weeds. Garden fail!

    I love lilies, tulips, bleeding heart, peony and well lots of others. There are so many great plants out there. Some of the garden catalogs have suggested garden designs in them if you want help selecting plants that go together well.

    Well, I'm not the gardening type, but if I was, I'd plant fruits and veggies, I think. Maybe some flowers too.

    Tulips and roses sound great to me! But I do love growing things I can eat, too.

    I like azaleas and day lilies. Easy to maintain. Good luck with your gardening. Thanks for your comment. I didn't have Tinker Toys. Aloha and take care.
