Drone Aerial View of My Gardens 2016

In this post I share the first aerial photos of my garden from the drone.  Check out the social media share and lots of images.  I will be adding more images and content from drones because we are HOOKED!  The Drone Aerial View Drones can be really useful when documenting your property and projects you work on.  Below are a few of the images from trenching projects in our yard. First Flight of the Drone Below is the tweet I shared LIVE as my husband and a few onlookers enjoyed the maiden voyage. We’re the #drone fans… Waiting for lift off ! pic.twitter.com/KNohmryco3 — GardenChat w/ Bren (@BG_garden) May 11, 2016 My husbands maiden voyage with the drone to take photos of a few of my gardens.  In the collection below I’ve uploaded to Flickr some of my favorite shots.  You can see in the images that the trench project took over my landscape in Spring 2016. I’m waiting patiently for the grass to start growing in most spots that are complete. Flickr Gallery Of Images Taking photos from the drone is super handy.  These images were some of the first just in time for huge projects on our property.  My husband uses these documented images to know roughly were trenching has been done along with where flooding occurs.   In the photo below from my Flickr collection you will see the trench area where my husband ran wifi, water and gas lines from the house out to the gardens. Below are the images from the Drone that I shared on my Flickr Photo Account. Are you a Flick Fan?  You can view these at Flickr.com where I have many albums featuring images from my gardens over the past 8 years. I’ll be sharing more throughout the season so be sure to subscribe to my website and my Free Newsletter for updates. Let’s Connect Have you taken unusual photos of your garden?

Tips That Make Rose Gardening Fun and Easy

Gardening is one of the most relaxing hobbies anyone can endure.  In this post I share my personal tips to make rose gardening fun and easy. Tips to Make Rose Gardening Fun & Easy Spring is the time of year the weather changes quicker then you can check the forecast.  It is important to have a game plan ready to make sure you don’t forget what you spent all winter dreaming about!  below are a few of my tips that make gardening easy and fun. Choose the right plants – select plants that will do well in your zone and/or are low maintenance – (e.g. Drift/Knock Out). Let the labels lead you – they are there for reason and can guide you where to plant-based on light and soil conditions. Add 1-to 2-inches -of mulch to prevent weeds from growing. If you plant into containers, remember to keep them watered well as you don’t want them to dry out. Edge your beds – stop grass from invading your plantings by edging or installing some type of barrier between your garden beds and the lawn. Keep a garden journal – jot down notes and observations as your garden grows so that you can refer back to its progress and be ready for any potential problems. Use the right tools – pick the tools that are the right size for you and the right size for your garden. Keep it simple – when planning your garden, don’t overwhelm yourself. Think realistically about how much time and energy you have and what you will need to do to maintain your plants. I share more about the roses I grow on my website!  Let’s Connect I hope you are off to a great start this year in the garden. I’d love to connect with you so please share a comment below. Maybe we can connect on Twitter or Facebook too! Happy Gardening,
