A Perfect Day to Garden

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009
It is a perfectly cool and shady day today to work in my gardens. I have had so much fun this year putting in my annuals and moving my perennials around as things grow.  My husband gave our red shutters a fresh coat of paint this year and they look great. I finished my window boxes and filled them with petunias and a couple of bright yellow marigolds.

There are lots of places to sit, relax, read,

Meditate….

have a cup of coffee or a glass of wine…

The basil, tomatoes, rosemary, parsley and of course the catnip for my husbands cat are planted. I added a rock border to finish it nicely
Peonies are coming up beautifully

my astilbe garden in ready to bloom

yellow coreopsis will be blooming later this summer

and the echinacea is ready to blossom!!! I am so excited

Aren’t these minature petunias lovely
I couldn’t resist these bright red pots…they look awesome with the red shutters
and now, I get to enjoy watching everything grow…as long as I keep spraying everything so the deer don’t have a bountiful feast!!
