How Does My Garden Grow? {Spring 2016}

I love springtime. I love the greens, and the budding blooms of the season.



Sweet olives. Indian hawthornes. Foxtail ferns. Hydrangeas. White begonias. I love them all. 








The garden makes a great entrance to the front facade of my home.



The sugar kettle and copper cranes add to my Southern decor.



Springtime, y'all!

  2. Your garden is beautiful, Ron! You are so lucky to have warm weather most of the year. I can't plant any flowering annuals until about May just in case of frost...not like I have a green thumb or anything.

  9. I love springtime too and if it EVER arrives in Connecticut, I'm sure I will love it again. It is April 20th and they are predicting frost temperatures tonight AGAIN. I want to dig in the dirt, I want to plant my lavender, rosemary, roses, etc. etc. etc. but I can't yet. I will live vicariously through your blog and wish we had moved south years ago.

  20. Ron,
    Oh, how I do love all the green in your front gardens, dear one!
    Month upon month we see brown here on the Prairie of clay soil and dry, arid heat!
    Visiting from The Garden Party!
    Fondly,
    Pat

  21. Ron, your garden is so beautiful. It's obvious what time, effort and love you have put into it. What a lovely spot. I noticed that you have a leopard plant. We have 2 and they just keep growing and are so unique and pretty.
