The Garden

The weekend was beautiful and we spent most of it outside planting flowers. I still have some holes to fill before I'm ready to take pictures.

I am surprised to find how much I enjoy gardening, it's a very physical and frustrating hobby. My hands and back ache and I spend way too much time figuring out what I want to buy for plants.


I like the look of this color coordinated garden


I find it a fun challenge to plant flowers according to height and bloom time. I have a ton of books with lists of what I should do, but I end up making my decisions at the nursery according to what catches my eye.






I found these gorgeous images at Traditional Home

    Great pictures! When weather is nice, there is more pleasant hobby than gardening. Can be a little tire-economic but the result is satisfactory. I am glad that you spent a nice weekend.
