It' finally that time of the year. Sitting on the porch enjoying the lovely weather that has been a long time coming.
Between being away, the crummy weather and the quilt show I am way behind in my garden planting. I am a stickler for waiting until May 15th to plant my tender annuals, One year we got a frost on May 11th and I lost almost everything.
This looks a little sparse right now but soon it will all fill in. This year I planted dahlias, something I have only grown once or twice.
This is one of my favorite hostas that never disappoints. In the shade it grows about 3' high and shorter in the sun. I don't know the name.
I almost always get something new each year. This is Japanese Forest Grass, I got 6 to put around the edge of one bed. It is a brilliant green and I like how it grows in a cascading manner.
Sewing has been on the back burner for now but once the gardens are settled I will be back to my machine.

Your yard looks enormous, gorgeous and very green! Can't wait to see it when in bloom!
ReplyDeleteSewing needs to be done when the time is right, along with everything, right??
You look like you are taking it easy, which is great. You deserve it!
Hugs,
Beautiful outlook from your room & your garden will look lush in the months ahead.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like perfect weather to be enjoying time outside and in the garden.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful garden and the view from your porch is lovely ! Enjoy Kelly !
ReplyDeleteWhere do you buy your plants? I miss Waterloo Gardens!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful porch and I need to know where to get those shoes you have on! Do share! Love your plantings, too!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, a good book, glass of iced tea.....a beautiful porch to relax. Some of the best things in life.
ReplyDeleteI'm envious as I sit inside watching the snow pile up outside my window.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place to spend your sunny summer days. I'm watching the snow coming down at my house like Janet.
ReplyDeleteYour porch picture looks like something straight out of Home and Garden magazine! Just lovely. I hope yours stays cleaner than our screened-in lanai does. It seems I'm forever wiping down furniture and tables, and wet-scrubbing the floor, so we can actually use the space. Do enjoy yours!
ReplyDeleteAaah, that looks so so nice! I'd live in there!
ReplyDeleteI think that hosta is called guacamole. I also had that grass in NJ and it is a nice shape.
I haven't planted a single thing yet :(
