Thoughts on my garden

I'm finding that my garden in the front of the house is really starting to look good! The plants I put in last year are doing really well and filling in nicely. I have several hanging baskets with flowers around the yard and on the steps of the house that are looking good!

I do plan on plotting out the back yard this summer and working on getting it in shape. I have made some progress and I find that the things I planted on the hill are doing well and spreading. Ther is still a lot of work to do, but I am making progress!I have more optons in the back yard due to a bit more sunny spots and lots of shade!
I need to put in plants that do not need a lot of care and will come in year after year. So planning and working in the garden will be my summer vaction!

Gardens

I do enjoy this time of year when I can spend time in my garden. While I'm not an experienced gardener, I am learning. (Mostly from my mistakes!) Because of the trees in the yard I find that I have to really work at keeping plants that work well in the shade. Some of my favorite plants are Hostas. I do think they add a lot to the landscape around the house.

I plan to blog about my experiences in the garden this year and will add photos of the garden as the summer goes along. I'm going to expand my container garden as well on the deck. It should be a fun summer!
