blondegardener: I am honored that you visited my post (of my pergola and landscaping on my home in Florida and offered your suggestions and nice comments. I took your comments to heart and I totally agree that painting my white fence to a rust/black or even brown would look very nice. I am actually going to check with our homeowners association to see if we are allowed to do that (it's a little communistic living in a gated community LOL. Thank you for the suggestion.

By the way, every time I am in "Rate My Space", I always look at others landscapes. Your landscaping ALWAYS catches my eye and it absolutely gorgeous. I am only an amateur, you are certainly a professional. Not to mention though, me being in Zone 10/11, makes it extremely difficult to find plants that will thrive in the hot, dry, humid conditions (and poor soil of Florida. Your neck of the woods, must offer a tremendous selection of colors and plant textures. Garden on!

I love all of your gardens and put them in my favorites. As far as the puppy in my garden, that is actually a "handicap" since Mr Puppy likes to "unplant" faster than I can put a cage around it and say NOOOOOOOO!

beautiful combinations. my kind of gardens. please send more pictures. great job.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

It's gotten so that I look for "blondegardener" on a posting because I know it's going to be a winner! Keep them coming -- I'm learning a great deal just from studying your photos and reading your comments. Another 5 star garden!

Outstanding! Love the shade garden. All of it really beautiful. One of the best gardens I've seen. You did a great job with the photography.

My DREAM garden....PERFECT.... The only thing that I would add is roses..miniature so that it wouldn't mess up the already perfect garden.

Just BEAYTIFUL! I have not masterd the green thumb yet!
Care to come work on my yard! :-

My favorite plant is hosta. I have more than 200 of them in my yard, front and back. I love how you mixed all the different perennials. Really breathtaking.

I love the way you've mixed the different varieties of hostas with the other ornamental grasses. The stepping stones are wonderful and add so much to your garden!

Beautiful!
