It's been a wet and chilly week around here, but I have a feeling that we'll be richly rewarded once the sun finally returns. In the meantime, here's a peek at what's been happening so far!
I love carefree perennials in the flower beds, but fill pots with annuals and herbs for color and immediate impact. The only real downside is that they need to be watered almost daily in the heat of summer.
I like pots in groups of three and I try different varieties and color combinations every year!
Here in Maryland, we are just transitioning from the spring flowering bulbs, shrubs and trees to the perennials.
The vegetable gardens are my husband's domain and they are off to a great start.
Yesterday I spotted the very first peas.
Last year we were overwhelmed with green beans, so the plan this year is to plant a half a row at a time.
This is the salad bed. We've already been enjoying the onions and radishes.
So there you have it, a quick garden tour between rain showers.
And here's my little garden helper, curls blowing in the breeze.
She likes to water, just like her mommy!
