A Mini Garden Tour
Hello! It’s Simply Saturday.
I thought we’d venture outside for today’s post. I decided I’d show you around my little flower patch. Keep in mind that this is what it’s like in earlier Spring, so it doesn’t look like much, yet. 😉 Pictured above is my little garden. It’s housed in an old water trough that was found on the property. I like the “rustic flair” of it. The little rooster plaque was a gift from awhile back. It’s just hanging out there until we can repaint it. 🙂 Let’s take a closer look.
My Flower Patch:
This picture shows what is commonly referred to as a patch of dirt. That’s only on the surface, however. I planted a peony root here. Hopefully it will sprout soon. 🙂 I can’t remember the exact variety, but I feel like it was Sarah Bernhardt. They should bloom in a beautiful pink shade. Perfect for the Summer!
These strangely thin-looking plants are Gladiolus. I actually planted them last year, but they are Perennials and, therefore, came back. A little over thirty sprouts have made a re-apperance, and as you can see, range in size. I can’t remember what variety I planted, but I do remember them being pretty when is full-bloom!
In the patch of dirt at the front of the water trough I hope to plant some Forget-Me-Not seeds. I don’t have any experience with those, but I don’t think they are too difficult. 🙂
Future plans for the garden include planting more flowers, (which means I would need a lot more space…) and convincing my younger brother to build me a trellis (for Moonflowers and Cypress Vine, etc) but I still like it as it is now. In a future post, perhaps I’ll share about the much bigger family garden, which includes different varieties of vegetables, fruits, and a few flowers for some extra charm. 😉
Wild Flowers:
After that little garden tour, I thought that now I’d show a few pictures of some of the wild flowers that have bloomed this Spring. I thought they were too pretty not to!
Well, I hope you’ve enjoyed this venture into the fresh Spring air. Until next time ~ Emily
