I'd love to hear a hummer whiz by my ear :) They should be here any day now. <br />The long shots of your garden are so satisfying. I love the close-ups of Bloom Day, but it's good to see "the whole", or parts thereof, every so often. It gives me a feel for "where you live". You have such a lovely, homey garden. I can just imagine you and Philo pottering in it happily :)Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-1299760898612047662009-05-06T20:53:00.000-05:002009-05-06T20:53:00.000-05:00Hi yourself, IVG - but I didn't say you should wat...Hi yourself, <B>IVG</B> - but I didn't say you should watch Mamma Mia - just said I loved it! We saw Junebug as soon as it hit DVD and enjoyed it. Recent DVD's were Pineapple Express and Milk. <br /><br />Some plants are able to outgrow the damage, <B>Mr McGregor's Daughter</B> - the evergreens might look bad for 2 years :-[<br />Happy Returns was one I grew & left in Illinois. Didn't realize I missed the color until it showed up at a local nursery. Hope yours surprises you! <br /><br />The amaryllis can grow in the ground here, <B>HealingMagicHands</B>, but they have much rougher lives than when growing indoors...snails, squirrels, hail, frost! <br />Guess you'll have to rotate gates on different posts? The hummingbirds seem to like the tall blue Salvias like Black & Blue and S guaranitica - no bold ones yet.<br /><br />It's Cindy's idea, <B>Lori</B> - bet she'd love for you to join. And I didn't show you everything, either! <br /><br />Thanks, <B>Conscious Gardener</B> - hope you do it, too. <br /><br />Hello again, <B>Rose</B> - there were so few garden blogs in 2005 that we readers would keep checking back in hopes of a new post. Now can't keep up with just the local blogs - I I counted over 30 garden blogs just from the greater AUSTIN area. <br />Rose, if you're looking for a not-too-frequent poster, count on me! <br /><br />The siberians have had more blooms each year, <B>Pam</B> - hope the compost, extra water, seaweed, and some afternoon shade keep them going! <br /><br />You're welcome, <B>Morning Glories in Round Rock </B> - the hummer was here this morning for Philo, but I missed him! <br /><br />One of these days I'll put a drawing of the lot, <B>Blackswamp Kim</B> - the word long does belong in quotation marks ;-]<br />The magnolia flowers aren't perfect, but they smell wonderful. <br /><br />You're welcome, <B>Lisa</B> - bet spring is making things pop in Wisconsin! <br /><br />Thanks <B>Dee/Reddirtramblings</B> - it would be even more fun to walk through your real garden gate and smell all those roses. Happy May Days to you, too. <br /><br />Thanks for the comments! <br /><br />AnnieAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-70309332824245926532009-05-06T12:42:00.000-05:002009-05-06T12:42:00.000-05:00Oh, Annie, it's beautiful, and I loved going on th...Oh, Annie, it's beautiful, and I loved going on the tour.

You made an interesting point I hadn't even considered--the number of blogs I read has grown exponentially since I started blogging. Unless it's a rainy day and I have nothing else to do, it's impossible to keep up with all of them regularly. That's why I like people who only post once or twice a week--it makes it a lot easier for me to keep up:)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-87260340075523995812009-05-01T14:32:00.000-05:002009-05-01T14:32:00.000-05:00I saw Katy's and I'm going to try to get that goin...I saw Katy's and I'm going to try to get that going soon...I loved the tour of your space and the hostess was charming!ConsciousGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12253940238405185012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-57819322887453711222009-05-01T03:28:00.000-05:002009-05-01T03:28:00.000-05:00I like this garden gate tour idea, and it certainl...I like this garden gate tour idea, and it certainly shows off how green your garden is right now and how the spaces fit together. Your front yard beds have really filled in since I've last seen them! <br /><br />It's just too bad that if I were to participate, you'd witness all of the parts of the garden I don't photograph on purpose, like the giant piles of mulch and fill dirt and potted half-dead trees waiting their turns in the front yard project. Maybe I can convince people it's conceptual art, but really, it's more like the art of reminding the gardener that her hardscaping work is never freaking done!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16233060833186241702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-30756425066508174182009-04-30T15:35:00.000-05:002009-04-30T15:35:00.000-05:00I really enjoyed the tour of your garden.

On the other hand, I get to have lots of daffodils and tulips. <br /><br />I may just have to join you in this Through the Garden Gate tour idea. The question is, which gate? I'd love to be buzzed by one of your hummingbirds, mine like my petunias, coral bells, hosta blossoms, salvia, butterfly bush and all the rest. They get pretty bold when they see you all the time.healingmagichandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03785882461027155830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-40975181326160310412009-04-30T14:28:00.000-05:002009-04-30T14:28:00.000-05:00Thanks for the delightful tour.

Do you remember Meryl from way back in <I>Annie Hall</I>? Man, she was nasty in that one! And at such a young age! LOL<br /><br />I like what I've seen of Amy Adams too, and was especially impressed with <I>Junebug</I>.

Have fun planting iris. <br /><br />What a treat it was to hang out with Austin gardenbloggers and visit both Jill Nokes & RockRose Jenny in one day. You make good things happen, <B>Pam/Digging</B>!<br /><br />This is the first real garden gate I've ever had <B>Phillip</B> - the promise and possibilities were apparent when we first saw the house. Glad you came. <br /><br />It was fun to see you, <B>Robin of GetGrounded</B> - the trailing lantana from you is still in its pot. Have fun with the guests. <br /><br />Maybe I hadn't watered the tulips enough, <B>MSS of Zanthan</B>, and the recent rains woke them up? <br />Maybe the 'Little Gem' is just doing its normal every-other-year leaf drop?<br />It amazes me that the baby brug I gave you is already in bloom, while the parent never blooms until late summer! <br /><br />It sure was fun to see you, but this Siberian iris would probably hate limestone hills, <B>Dawn</B>! This one is planted in a 'good' part of my yard and gets regular handwatering. <br /><br />For you I'll make Green Tea, <B>Carol</B>, and maybe some Spinach Artichoke Dip? <br /><br />Missed you too, <B>Bonnie</B> - so am glad to visit your blog! <br /><br />Thanks for coming <B>Lisa at Greenbow</B> - please come again. <br /><br />The big tulips don't do so well here, <B>Prairie Rose</B> - have to chill them so they're fooled into thinking they've lived through winter. These small species tulips are <I>supposed</I> to bloom & return in Austin. <br />It will be coffee for me, too! <br /><br />Thanks, <B>Randy</B> - would love a real one of your garden! <br /><br />Hi <B>Leslie</B>, and Thank You. Cindy's long view idea seemed like fun after all the close-ups for Blooming Day. <br /><br />We've had off-on rain the last few days with drizzly, heavy humid air, <B>Cindy from Katy</B>, but nothing like the Toad-Strangler you had! <br />The garden is green and growing with mildew showing up now.<br />Philo made the chair a couple of year ago - also made me a green bench. <br /><br />The Secret Garden has probably inspired generations of children like you, <B>EastSidePatch</B>, but I didn't read it until I was in my 40's. But somewhere as a child learned about garden gates. <br />I'm sorry you didn't make it - hope there will be other chances! <br /><br />Your tulips don't seem late to me, <B>Iowa Victory Gardener</B> - first two weeks of May was primetime in Illinois. <br />There's been lots of Twittering about both the movie and the book of "Julie and Julia". I've been a Meryl Streep fan forever (just rewatched her in "Postcards From the Edge"), and have enjoyed the young Amy Adams in quite a few movies - loved her in "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day". <br /><A HREF="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1135503/" REL="nofollow">Julie and Julia</A> is on my absolute must-see list, too. <br /><br />Hi <B>Gail</B> - you should see how mixed the soil maps for Central Texas look in the books - several areas meet here in the middle. And now that we in Austin have people posting rainfall amounts on blogs and twitter it's obvious there are wide variations there, too! <br />Please come - I'll make tea! <br /><br />Thanks for the comments, <br /><br />AnnieAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-6541760022484383082009-04-29T10:43:00.000-05:002009-04-29T10:43:00.000-05:00A wonderful tour Annie...It's amazing how varied t...A wonderful tour Annie...It's amazing how varied the geography is in Austin from garden to garden!

Our tulips are on the cusp of blooming now, we're that far behind this year (again). <br /><br />Love it when you mention that Julia Child rose ... have you heard there is a film coming out this summer called <I>Julie and Julia</I> starring La STREEP? I saw a photo of her in the role and she looks perfect! (Even though Meryl is 5'9" and Julia was 6'4" lol.)

The "garden gate" has always intrigued me, ever since I read "The Secret Garden" as a child. <br /><br />There is one garden in Austin that I pass every day that has a rather large fence around it. I always wonder what is behind it because the house is so "Mexican funky" (complete with bright blue mexican roof tiles) and the owners spray-paint their lawn!..I know there has to be some suprises behind that garden gate.<br />Sorry to have missed you at the recent get together.<br />ESP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-53511583181669286362009-04-28T10:44:00.000-05:002009-04-28T10:44:00.000-05:00I forgot to say, I LOVE Philo's yellow chair!I forgot to say, I LOVE Philo's yellow chair!Cindy, MCOKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094260737874973235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29414556.post-37657869819686186502009-04-28T10:43:00.000-05:002009-04-28T10:43:00.000-05:00Annie, I very much enjoyed my visit to your garden...Annie, I very much enjoyed my visit to your garden!
