Here is a slide show of how my yard has looked over the past few years. I want to give a special thanks to everyone here in New Castle, PA., who has donated plants for use in my garden.

My two sons, ages 22 and 19 help with most of the heavy work around the garden and my daughter who is age 7 helps plant and take care of the flowers. My wife helps pickout the flowers and over time I devide them to make more. I try to use mostly perenials in my garden, but I do use annuels for fill here and their till I can save up enough money for other flowers. I have a long way to go yet till my garden is close to being finished!!!

How you have accomplished this with a broken spine is beyong me, the yard is beautiful and colorful and very neat, wish I could do this also. I always look for colorful yards and am having a hard time doing it myself. $$$ thats why

Thank you so much everyone for all the nice comments. I'm disabled with a broken spine, so any yard work I can get done is a major job, and then after I have finished I'm usually down and in pain for a few days afterword. But I think it is all worth it in the end. At this time my yard is only about 1/4 of the way finished. I have a lot more that I would love to do.

Absolutely beautiful.  You should be really proud--thanks for sharing it with everyone, it was really fun to watch!  Happy gardening!
