Today’s photos are from Gail Wynne in Oklahoma. She says, “I’m a self-taught backyard gardener in north central Oklahoma. I learned a great deal reading Fine Gardening.
“This is my 9th season in this garden, which is a mix of flowering shrubs, perennials, herbs, and vegetables with a few annuals dotted in–who can live without caladiums? The garden house was built in the spring of 2007. My husband designed it that winter when it was too cold to play golf.
“As a child my grandmother turned her wash house on the farm over to her 6 granddaughters as a playhouse. This is my garden version of those wonderful memories. It’s the focal point of my garden and the backdrop for garden parties.”
That garden house is straight out of a fairy tale, Gail! But we need to see MUCH MORE of your garden. Send more, please! **Gail has a blog/online garden journal! Check it out HERE.**
***OK, everyone, keep going! Dig out your cameras, take a big long walk around your garden, and SEND ME PHOTOS!***
***One more thing…..have you always wondered what your fellow GPODers are like in person? Never thought you’d get a chance to meet them? Check this out…. While the GPOD isn’t officially a taunton forum, it’s close enough, and I wanted to extend the invite. Anybody at all interested? I’d be willing to search for some gardens to tour…

great garden! i think i want to live in the garden house. always love to see children in a garden but an easter egg hunt would probably make me crazy :) i will say that the tulip photo is the BEST spring photo i have ever seen.
great blog/photography too,,, i just checked it out. that mystery orchid is Bletilla striata i have them here as well as the white one and enjoy them both but they get frosted some years here. bookmarked the blog for further reading!
Gail, So welcoming and charming is your garden house! Would
love to see inside!!
Love the touch of romance added in your flair of gardening,
too. All lovely!! What fun it would be to party there!
Thank you for sharing!!
Your garden is beautiful, Gail! Hope you are okay with all the terrible weather your area has had!
Gail, your garden house and surrounding plantings are perfection and please pass along sincerest compliments to your husband for his designer talents. You are a formidable and impressive twosome.
Your blog is a delight and I'm still smiling (after tearing up a time or two) from reading the saga of beautiful Megan and her handsome prince charming, JP.
Yes, I hope you will share more pictures with us
gpod-ers...we're insatiable! Now I'm off to continue reading more of your blog.
Your garden is story book perfect. It looks like it popped out of a magazine page (one of Fine Gardenings competitors that focuses on garden buildings and other amenities). You have the best of both worlds, horticultural knowledge of how to grow plants and design ability to put together your dream. I hope the terrible weather in Oklahoma did not destroy any of your vision.
Judging by the cakes, it must have been a wedding reception.
What a perfect setting!
Hi Gail, I loved the wedding story on your blog. (and a peek into the inside of that well designed garden house!) Your garden is such a beautiful setting for gatherings. What a wonderful tribute to your childhood memories.
We are all thinking of and praying for Oklahoma.
lovely garden! Your tree peony looks like the one I have, yachiyo tsubake. Strangely, as it has aged, it has developed two slightly different colored fowers: a paler and a darker version. Is that what I see in your photo or have the flowers just aged?
Looks like with this delightful setting, one can have his cake and eat it too!
Thank you everyone for your lovely comments and your concerns for Oklahoma. I'm about 2 hours north of Moore so we are fine here. Friends and their families in Moore are fine though being a small state we all know someone who knows someone who lost everything. It's been a tough few days.
My tree peony for now seems to be all the same color still except it does change a bit at the different stages of blooming. That's one of the things I love about gardening - you never know what you'll find on your morning walk.
Thank you for the orchid name - I'll make a note. Also thanks for reading the blog. I started it when the adult daughter of my former next door neighbor asked me to blog in order to teach her about gardening. It's a fun recap of my gardening week at the end of the weekend.
I think I'm going to love being part of this online gardening community. I'll send more pictures soon, but now am off to harvest lettuce and arugula for my local client choice food pantry.
That's a marvelous garden house. I'd like to see more of the garden and especially the veggies. Thank you Gail.
Love your garden and love your blog! I know what I am going to do tonight after the kids go to bed!
Thanks for sharing your garden with all of us!
Gail, your garden is stunning. Martha Stewart has nothing on you. You have some real designing talent. From reading you blog, I also know it is not just a photo shoot or done by a team of professionals. Kids and family really use it and you have some really extreme weather in Oklahoma. It is even more amazing it looks so good. I am so glad to here you were not hit by the last round of tornados. I heard the area could have some more bad weather. I hope you and your garden are safe. Your blog is such a wonderful read. It sounds like you are a beautiful person too. You have no fear of failure or hard work, and family and faith seem to be your focus. You epitomize everything we love about the heartland of America. I liked the picture on your blog, of the freezing wet leaves and the wheelbarrow. It is the before picture we all have to deal with every spring. Your after shots are all amazing too. I hope you send more pictures in the future.
Thank you. Oklahoma is a great place to garden - 9 month growing season - and every conceivable kind of weather in that time. The Heartland is a wonderful part of the country. But isn't "blooming where we're planted" what it's all about. Thanks for reading the blog.
Lovely, lovely Gail. That rose by the garden house is breath-taking. I am wondering if your husband built the garden house as well as designing it. At any rate, Michelle's comment that it was straight out of a fairy tale was right on. Now to your blog for more delights. Thanks for sharing.
I know I am way late but had to chime in on Gail's beautiful garden! And I loved your blog, wonderful photos! And your variety of colors in the tulip photo is so dreamy! What a wonderful setting for a garden party.
I am so glad you missed the storms on Monday! I just drove back from visiting my daughter in Junction City, KS on Monday evening, watching my back all the way home and listening to the news about the tornado. You guys are in our thoughts!
Can't wait to see more and welcome to our delightful, little group!

Rare and strange: with a rare name (usually blue, but at the same time may also be gold elite), it is difficult to find, but to get rid of, there is often a special surprise, because fixed and affixes equipment, regardless of the blue-loaded or yellow equipment, are to the edge, in fact, is the best SP produced strange fortune depends on it.
Open the list of your accomplishments, an achievement which lists the most rare and strange, but not all!
In addition, rare and strange fall the best equipment is not 100% drop, but if you want, you could do nothing but find them, rs gold because they can. If you encounter, but you can not beat , please hurry to invite your friends list into your game together to engage it, and to drop more than a goodly portion of luck, but also a way of getting money to the Friends of the base!
Daobao Wizard: Drop equipped with everything falling energy saving in this chapter, in addition to rare and strange part of falling!
Drop the game settings, through research nethack (known as the originator of the Diablo setting items randomly drop) settings, blade and soul gold in fact, a setting is as follows:
Rare and strange list of rare and strange list: this figure may be possible, each unique drop list of rare and strange, usually the main producing strange Need rings and necklaces;
Blue strange list: this picture ordinary strange, it may appear strange blue, just blue strange installed it must be out of the blue, drop list is the list of the world fall in each of the sections that, that does not beyond the the chapter drop the other chapters will be out equipment. (FARM A1 friend Note, A4 was a good blue-loaded, drag a drag the corpse into the A4.)
3 golden elite list: mainly wow gold used to increase this figure a bit of a challenge and entertainment, to be honest, not farm their significance, and this strange basically impossible to be done FARM their fall list and blue The strange world drop, as limited by chapter, but the yellow loading a relatively high probability it wants.
So, I'll give you advice:
Careful and meticulous to a certain figure, the difficulty is not great, you can complete single FARM again, all the blame, all the stones, all the local touch it again, and then reset it again, and so forth NNNN times and times, you can put this figure there might be rare and strange touch, we also know this "specialty".
Another supplement on suits and legendary equipment drop set: part of the world falling, broken jar and trash mobs and the like can be a goodly portion of luck, but the mobs die so much, the opportunity is always there; portion of the fixed BOSS out drop, multi-brush it, the opportunity is always there, after all, is fixed drop FARM when a lot of bad street but in the end is inevitable; part fall by rare and strange, the same can not be met seeking to encourage you and diligent traveled to every corner of the map; also part of falling exists only in the advanced chest, face.
About rare and strange location: each figure with surface and underground (cave) in two parts, this strange wandering the entire surface of each figure, that might be buried in the ground, but mainly present in the underground; each figure has a fixed number of underground cave spawn points, and each picture to refresh the total number of points is fixed, but each time the refresh only a few points, to refresh a few point and which point to refresh are random; Members diligent little more effort, run a race map, summarize the law, there will always be the outcome! ! ! ! !
Random number paradox: while the computer is set between 1-100 random samples of any single chance, from long statistical point of view, are the same, but in a short period of time during the actual operation, you extracted to a 1 and 100 chance is very small; the improved random numbers, often using double-random number divided by the ratio rounded, for example, taken from 1-100 where two duplicate number, and then divided by 2 rounded .
Refer to the above extract random set model of random numbers, each picture looks much spawn points, but a subset of locations and 1 or 100 is actually more difficult to be able to get from another point of view, mean that other spawn points easily be able to get refreshed, this rule can be found by summing.
My last most important conclusion: Some rare and strange appears only in the rare spawn points, this setting is also normal, everyone can sum up, there is always the law to be investigated!
Hello Gail ~ Your gardens are just gorgeous and your love of gardening shows at every turn. I was enthralled with your blog. How long have you been keeping it? I did read thru a great portion of it and found it so heart-warming, delightful, entertaining, and informative. What a wonderful gardening/family life you have had. All I can add is WOW! Your family is very fortunate to have all of that history written by you. Happy continued gardening for you and your husband.
Hello Gail ~ I posted a message for you but mistakenly posted it on your 2013 GPOD as I was looking at it at that time. Hope you will find it as I really enjoyed your blog. Thanks
