The weather is finally starting to warm... a little and some of our plants are starting to emerge. This has given me the itch to start designing my garden and think about adding to our flower beds. Designing a yard is just as important as designing the interior of a home. Our exteriors are a visitor's first impression of our home.
When thinking of adding to your flower bed, ask if anyone you know has plants you can split. It is free and then there is a story behind that plant. We get a lot of my plants from my Great Aunt Dixie who will be 100 in July and is still an avid gardener. My in-laws give us tons of plants as well. Now, when I walk around our garden, there are memories to go with the plants we have.
Here are a few pictures of plants starting to grow around the yard.
Our daffodils came back unexpectedly. We had work done on our front walk and thought they would be a no show from all of the digging that was done.
The scilla siberica was a surprise. We split a hydrangea from Aunt Dixie last year and these popped up with it this year.
The hops belong to my husband who is a home brewer. He planted these last year and they are coming back in full force.
One of our maples have these beautiful pink buds on them, they add a nice pop of color to our backyard.
I can't wait for my lilacs to bloom, one of my favorite scents of all time.
This is the second year for our rhubarb plants, so strawberry rhubarb pie, here I come.
There are a handful of herbs that made it through the winter, oregano being one of them.
Until next time,
Blair
