Our Spring Garden


You may recall I wrote a while ago about our very bare looking winter garden. Well, spring has sprung folks and last weekend Orsie, Trent, Riley and I hit the courtyard with much Springtime garden gusto.

The main projects were to find and plant new climbers and shrubs along the back fence to grow quickly and give screening and privacy (and some lovely perfumed flowers hopefully) and to re-establish the herb garden. We took a little excursion to the local nursery and found everything we needed and then proceded to plant to our hearts content. Tick. Tick. Done! Oh and I have a very soft spot for geraniums cascading out of terracotta pots (it's the Italian in me) so I popped a beautiful little one in an old sentimental pot. Here's hoping it thrives.

Orsie even helped out watering in some of the new plants god love him. And he never can resist sampling a bit of the soil. A green thumb in the making methinks.

Stay tuned for more pics as flowers (hopefully!) come to hand.
