Flowers are in

I just love this time of year.   It is hard for me to pick my favorite season.  I love fall so much but spring is equal if not better.  Everything is so green and beautiful. 

Picture of the creeping phlox before they loose their flowers.  They are always so beautiful

I always hate having to find mostly shade plants for my front porch but shade plants are really starting to improve.

Double begonia's for between the rocking chairs

Double Impatiens for the hanging baskets

Some sort of creeping hybrid impatiens plant 

The vegetable garden getting ready for planting after a delivery of fresh garden soil.  This year Jeff added a box around the garden to make it a raised garden.  Hoping this cuts down on the weeds and produces better plants.

Back yard deck I planted Creeping Petunias and Annual Vinca.  The rule of thumb is to plan after Mother's Day and would't you know it we had a little frost on morning this week.  I hope everything survives.  Some of the Vinca is getting yellow leaves :(

Some more on the deck Geraniums and Vinca.  My deck gets full sun all day so hardy plants are a must.

Garden behind the garage with the spring Iris

I can't wait for the Peonies to bloom.  I'm sure I'll add a post just for those

I decided to add all Annual Vinca in sidewalk bed this year.  I have never done just one type of flower.  I am excited to see how it looks when they grow full.

Front porch pots

More front porch 

And the garden complete and ready for planting.  We do have some corn and the sun flower seeds planted all ready.  Banana certainly has his summer work cut out for him :)

Enjoying this beautiful day and counting my blessings
