Spring?

7 years ago

I'm sorry I haven't posted here much. I've noticed a lot of plants around my garden are starting to wake up, amaryllis, crinums, cannas to name a few. I have sprouts in nearly all of my winter sowing containers, so I'm a bit worried about another bad freeze or two. On another note, the siding of my mobile was finally repaired as well as the roof. Last years hail storm severely damaged both. The contractor and his crew stepped on a lot of my plants but hopefully they'll recover nicely? Here are a few pictures of my humble garden.

Lungwort 'Raspberry Splash'

Daffodils

Front Flower bed (Pardon some of the crushed plants)

What a nice space. Isn't great when when repairs are done? I've never seen that first plant- very cool looking.

Thank you Lisa! Me and my family are definitely happy to get the outside repairs done. The hail storm last March was probably the worst one we've been through. This is my first experience growing the lungwort. I thought it would perish in the heat because it's more adapted to cooler, temperate climates, but it survived to my surprise. Eventually I want to put a gravel pathway under the cedar trees and I'm going to add more plants to the area.

Not great lighting for pics, but a couple spruces are doing their thing: Picea pungens 'Procumbens' It used to be very stiffly horizontal, but the left side started upturning last year or so. Usually even more intense blue. Picea abies 'Pendula' Picea glauca 'Rainbow's End' Picea pungens 'Thume'

Thanks Molly! I was inspired by other people's bottle trees on this forum. They're so neat and give my garden some personality. One day I'll get some rebar and make an actual bottle tree.
