Friday Garden Pictures

Friday, April 11th, 2008

It’s beautiful and sunny here today.  I think we are supposed to have some cold temps later this weekend, but for now… wow! 

It’s hard to see with all the candytuft behind, but the new piece of pottery from the thrift store has a little savory in it.

Yes, these are from the dollar tree, but this set of chimes is one of the gifts Princess of the Universe got me for my birthday last month.  They have a highly-prized place on my front porch.

Right next to them is the set of chimes that one of my sons got me for my birthday.  Also from Dollar Tree, also highly prized!  :)

I think this vintage planter looks better with bacopa (Sutera cordata) in it.  It did have a little catnip, which was moved out and into the ground, and which Jasper promptly shredded with his teeth and then rolled all over and then lay drunken on the sidewalk for the rest of the afternoon.

This thrift store basket looks sweet with some Diascia tucked inside in one pot and savory in another pot.

I love walking through the garden in bare feet with teacup in hand.  My mosaic stepping stones are some of my favorite things in the garden.

This mass of blue iris is flowering wonderfully this year — and complementing the blue planter.  I think some plant separation is in order, however, after blooming is done.

The cottage pinks are starting to bloom.  They smell SO good and are SO pretty.  :)

I like having a little lavendar plant close to my chair on the front porch.  I can crush a little leaf and feel so relaxed.  Who doesn’t need relaxation?? 

Last but not least is all the candytuft along the walkway.  The candytuft is so profuse, it has lured people up to the garden to see what it is.  In my most humble opinion, candytuft is a must in the garden.

Have a great weekend,

Lynn
