Yesterday, I spent much of my first day of Spring Break in my yard planting, pruning, and cleaning.
This year I decided to plant ferns in the various pots in the courtyard since the area gets minimal sunlight.
In 4 wall baskets, I planted varieties of bird’s nest ferns, variegated English ivy, and White Christmas caladium bulbs.
Along the pond, pots were also planted with various ferns. I love the way the green pops in the backyard.
I love ferns as they are so easy to grow. I usually fertilize once a week with Miracle Grow plant food.
Do use ferns in your landscape?
Off to eat at the Lake later today!

ReplyDeleteP.S. I thought you were pulling for the mini this morning at 7:00 AM Eastern time? ;)
ReplyDeleteThe Festival of Flowers in Mobile had so many pretty wall baskets with different varieties of plants. I really want to try this!
ReplyDeleteTres jolie, mon fils.
ReplyDeletePretty! Ferns used to grow wild through the bricks in my backyard down the street. I'm giving a hanging basket a try here in a shaded area. Wish me luck! Happy Spring Break!
ReplyDeleteLove your ferns and they are so pretty hanging on the fence. I'm so excited that the drawing is tomorrow!!

Love the ferns! I have a wooded backyard in ATL and they grow well, but I haven't gotten any yet since we had freezing temps overnight this week. Enjoy the reast of your Spring break!
ReplyDeleteLove ferns! We have two sections in our yard where we each have about 30-40 ferns...they just keep multiplying! ;)
ReplyDeleteThese are sooo pretty.....love your courtyard.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Loving all the lush green. Unfortunatley, our cold winter got most of our perennial ferns near our pond and most recently our newly planted veggies and basil! Will be planting more however. Rainy here. Enjoy your day at the lake.
ReplyDeleteI love ferns. I haven't bought mine for the front porch yet since it has been raining and cold, but the weather is supposed to get much better tomorrow! Yours look great hung in baskets on the wall. I bet you enjoy sitting outside amongst all your plants sipping on wine or a cocktail.
ReplyDeleteI love the fern idea. It looks great.
ReplyDeleteI love the ferns. Great idea! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLove all the ferns and they look so good. Isn't Miracle Grow just the best. Your backyard is stunning and I know you love to sit out there and have a cocktail or coffee. Enjoy your yard.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter.

Just beautiful! Please show more photos after they've grown awhile. I love ferns but they just don't like living at my house. Not sure what I do wrong...or don't do right. :) Your backyard looks so lush and green and you certainly have the temps & humidity to help things along.
