Vikki from Virginia is lucky enough to be able-bodied to garden throughout most of the year in her southern venue .
" I garden in Zone 8a in Southeastern Virginia . Mild winters and hot humid summer enable me to dig in the dirt almost year round . I have it away flowers as well as colorful foliage . Over the years I have tried to rely more on perennials rather than filling the garden with expensive annuals . I love hydrangeas , day lily and peony . I ’m still study about paeony and I ’m hope for some real succeeder this coming grow time of year . My hubby ( not a horticulture enthusiast ) avail me when I ask , but normally I do all the horticulture which includes mow and edge … all of which I love . These photos are of the garden in summertime and were assume over the years . "
