A Year Makes a DifferenceThe garden and perennial beds that were new last spring are filling in with woodland plants. Most of the perennials weathered the cold single digit weather we had in December. The holly fern is coming back from the base, but other wise everything looks good.

Some went into the vegie garden area. I also planted a bleeding heart plant into a shady corner by the hedge. Bare root phlox found a home along the trellis in the vegie area. I scattered some of the poppy seeds I'd collected last summer over the beds. Deciding where to place the wave petunias hasn't been easy, but they also will probably be placed into the vegie garden area. Vegie area is going to have a whole lot more flowers ( photo / image / picture from Jewell's Garden ) I am not going to forget the vegetables, but there will be fewer. Planted some pretty rainbow chard today. There will be tomatoes, green beans, and sugar snap peas later. A plant or two of summer squash for the barbeque will also have to find a place in the yard some where. Crazy is the only way to call the weather we have been having. Got our first snow of the year in April. The weather has been cold and rather nice except for the wind. So many things that were farther along and blooming last spring are still sleeping. I have been collecting more sedums throughout the spring. Have also made a few more wreathes with them. It is fun seeing them and how different each one looks. Am wondering if I might be able to sell them at the Second Annual Art and Garden Walk that the neighborhood association is going to sponsor again this year. Last years was a lot of fun.

Good morning Jewell! I feel like I just had a little walk and chat with you! How nice that was. Things look so good at your house -- like they are going to take off as soon as the warmth comes around to stay. Your garden has a real comfortable feel to it -- very natural and relaxing there. The wreaths are just gorgeous. I think you'd have buyers competing to buy them. I've become a real fan of sedum too. Enjoy your day.
Those wreaths are beautiful! I also really like the planter.
Enjoyed the tour, your sedum wreaths are beautiful and what a great collection.
Thanks for sharing your part of the world with us. It is most refreshing to 'see' your ideas through your pictures. Well done and enjoy!
Thanks Daisybeans, I always enjoy seeing what you are doing in your yard also. Sedums are my passion at the moment.
Wow! Awesome pictures:) I love the Sedum planter and the wreaths. Nice garden and I love shaster daiseys:)
This is a very nice set of fotos and text to see and read. Aside from the returning green and wreaths, I like the 'feel' of your garden--it looks so cozy and appealing.
Wow - it gives me hope that this cold weather we keep having will move on. Love your pics and the eclectic feel I get from your gardens. I hate having everything straight in rows. I don't even plant my garden that way. Great pics! Login or register to leave a comment. |
