Totally agree. Peaceful is the perfect word for it.
I love everything, but I’m obsessed with Hostas! They remind me of my mother-in-law.

Thank you! I wish I had more shade to plant more Hostas.

Wow, impressive. I’m in 9b, so things are easier here.
Thank you! Gardening in 9b must have its own challenges, though.

I’m in 8b, but my garden doesn’t look half as good as yours!
The dahlias are stunning!

Did you grow them from seed?
I actually grew these from tubers I bought online.

They’re gorgeous! Where did you get them?
@Tali
Thank you! I got them from various sellers. If you’re in the US or Canada, check out Dahliaaddict.com. Be warned—it’s addictive!
How did you go from bare dirt to that lovely mulch path? I want to do something similar in my yard.

I tarped the soil in the fall and tilled it in spring. I added weed fabric under the paths and mulched everything. I still get some weeds, but it’s manageable.
@Lennon
I skipped fabric and regret it… my mulch keeps disappearing!

Honestly, fabric can be more trouble than it’s worth in the long run. It collects debris, and weeds grow through it eventually.
@Raj
You’re not wrong. It helps a bit, but I regret using it.

Looks amazing! How do you keep the weeds under control?
