In the Yard: April 15



I love this time of year. Our yard is outrageously beautiful, and something new is popping up every day. Here is what's flowering today (click for a close-up):


Clematis and columbine should be out in the next day or two, and all the roses are just about to burst open. Next week, we may have peonies. I've started planting annuals these past two days and have a small section of impatiens, marigolds, and dianthus planted. I've got a long, long way to go, but I love the feeling of dirt under my nails. Pure joy.

What's growing in your yard this week?

  7. What beautiful flowers. I had a lot of shade perennials - like Columbine - at our last home. I do miss them.

    I'll hope you'll drop by AtticMag and see my post for Outdoor Wednesday.
