Recent pictures from my garden :) Fresh Strawberries, Roses, Jasmine and more! Also, if anyone has some advice on growing Jasminum angulare or Jasmine sambac that would be awesome :)

To tell you the truth, I don't think you need any advice at all. :) Your plants and doggy are looking splendid! Those strawberries... aah, I could bit into them from here. ;) And the roses are absolutely stunning! I specially adore the yellow one!

Beautiful photos and beautiful plants! I love the row of planters in front of your house. What's your dog's name?

The pictures of your garden are lovely. Your strawberries are luscious looking!! And the morning glories are so pretty. I have a Confederate Jasmine growing on the lattice around my back porch and it bloomed beautifully this Spring. The stem coming up from the ground is as big around as a vegetable can. I have had it for about 4 yrs now and cannot believe how big it has gotten. When it blooms, I still have my windows open and I can smell it in my bedroom at night. I do not do anything but clip back the stems that are growing where I do not want them and water it when I happen to think about it.

I am jealous of your nasturtiums! I started some from seed last fall and I think I had 4 or 5 plants. They were small and a little scraggly and never really took off, but then winter came along and only one plant had survived. I kept saying I was going to put out more seeds and kept forgetting and by the time I finally did, that one plant that survived winter was on it's last leg.

Thank you for the kind words!
How relaxing it must be to smell jasmine while falling asleep. I have a confederate jasmine too! Mine is pretty new so it's still rather small. Thanks for letting me know what you do to care for yours. I'm always interested in the ways other people take care of their plants. Always learn something new :).

lol I absolutely love:D Nasturtiums! I've potted them in several different pots and I found they're kinda picky about space and soil. That huge plant I have with the palm tree has been the best hands down. Which is in a sandy soil and gets sun most of the day. If I put them in regular soil they just don't seem to thrive as much. I also water depending on the wetness of the soil and feed a mix of superthrive and miracle grow once a week. I hope maybe there's something there that could help you out :)

All your plants look fabulous. I'm loving those strawberries - mine look so puny! (note to self, research more on growing strawberries!)
Awe thank you! I was getting the really puny strawberries or the really jacked up looking long ones that look like little red turds and then I started watering them less and the fruit just got bigger. I don't know if it was my watering or the plant just deciding to actually make pretty, good tasting strawberries finally lol
