Winter Was Very Kind to Our Garden

WOW!!!!! Everywhere you look gardens, plantings, foliage, shrubs anything that has it's roots in the earth seems to have gotten quite a boost from this past winter's snow and cold...

Our garden is lush and verdant. I have never seen such huge garlic plants...some of the stalks look like leeks...the foliage is dense and green, buds are thick, colors are vibrant and fragrances are heady....Old North Wind and Jack Frost were laying the ground work for a fabulous treat to all things that grow.


Look at that garlic...looks like a bed of leeks!

Hanging pots are full and overflowing in the greenhouse...getting ready to go over to our island for a summer color boost...

Saint Francis must be very pleased with the results of this past winter's snow...we all know snow is poor man's fertilizer...

This gorgeous peony is a delightful...I could stare at it all day long!

Our hosta is HUGE...every single plant is at least twice as big as last year....Mother Nature has really treated us with a delightful gardening season...
It would seem gardens everywhere are thriving...hope you have the opportunity to visit some this spring...garden centers are full of wonderful plant stock, garden tours are everywhere...take the time to smell the roses, peonies, salvia, lilies and and and the list goes on...get off the cell phone, out of the chair, away from the TV and computer screen and touch nature...you'll be doing yourself a favor!!!!!
