Spring - A Time Of Renewal!

I walked around my garden this morning and I was pleasantly surprised to see so much new life! My garden is bursting at the seams with either new growth or blooms! Everywhere I looked there was either a bud, new leaf or a flower. See if you can ignore the leaves that are still falling and enjoy new growth :)!

 I loved the color of the English boxwood, it is bright and crisp and looks edible.

First Semester Of My Garden

The first semester of my garden was off to a great start. I have to give my garden a passing grade. My garden was finished just before the fall last year. I've watched everything blossom from camellias to loropetalums. I've updated my winter and fall pages to reflect some of the changes I've witnessed. I've also done some spring shopping to fill some of the gaps that are still wide. I saw my peach tree produce some beautiful flowers and purple leaf plum was full of flowers signaling the end of winter. Please take a look at the Fall Garden and my Winter Garden for latest pictures. I've also added new page for some of my newest plants.

Winter was unseasonably warm this year so, what I see may not be normal but we will see! Please enjoy and share!
