A stroll around Keewee's garden

There is a little bit of color in the garden, but that will change soon, as I intend on planting some more colorful annuals in this spot.

I can hardly believe how much the Hosta has grown since I planted it two years ago.

Stock, Dahlias, Allysm and Lobelia

There is not a whole lot of color in the garden just yet, mostly all shades of green, which is very attractive.
In no time at all, the plants which were put in the gardens yesterday will be in bloom, and if, the slugs don't eat everything in sight, then there should be plenty

This Columbine is such a delicate shade of pink.

This is the front garden I will be adding to. I am happy to say the Hellebore I thought was lost this past winter, has made a strong return.

Mimulus is a dainty brightly colored plant that has come back for the second year. I do love self seeding plants.

Goodness, look how tall the Asiatic Lillies have grown this year.
There are also, Gladioli planted around and in between the lillies. What a colorful display this will be.

One of the largest Hostas in my collection

A busy day in the garden

Impatient's, Pansies and Lobelia planted with the Grape Hyacinths, Daffodils and Chionodoxa from last fall planting.


















This Foxglove is quite lovely


















Bamboo, Ferns and Columbine





















A very pretty Columbine planted this spring















One of my favorite Primroses














The Lamb's Ear, to the left of the angel, planted today.
I braided the daffodils after they finished blooming to tidy up the garden, and to make more room for new annuals.

Growth in the garden on April 17th

The Primroses got too much rain and are not looking very happy











Asiatic Lillys and Gladioli are doing rather well in this sunny spot











Behind the Hosta grows a plant which has very pretty bright pink flowers. I cannot recall the name of the plant. I will look at the garden center to see if I can find one the same, so I can get the name for a plant tag.











This giant Hosta sure has put on a spurt of growth this last week. It has grown about two inches.











Ferns and Hostas in my shade garden are coming along nicely.











I love this Fern. It will have very long delicate fronds.










More Hostas and Ferns in a pot by the front door.







And Batchelor Buttons I grew from seed

I love Spring

March 29th Splendor

All it takes is the warmth from the sun to encourage the tulips to open their petals for our viewing pleasure.

Photo taken yesterday, when these tulips were just beginning to open.

Today the sun is shining, and it is 58F.

What a fabulous color

I love spring blooms

I am so pleased with this lovely peach colored tulip

It is interesting to watch the heads of the blooms follow the path of the sun as the day progresses.

Faces turned towards the sun

The giant hosta survived the winter

A bright spot of color.
