the beginning
of my perennial garden…This past Saturday, while Calvin was attending a Troop event all day, I made my way to JVI (plant nursery) in Donelson. I was so fortunate that Erin took the time to help me pick a variety of plants, including different foliage textures, colors, heights, you name it she put it altogether. And to top it all off, she even wrote it all down for me, because there would be no way I’d remember the exact placement she arranged!
here is Ty inspecting all the plants. his question was, “what’s up with the catnip!”
so here are my beds… I wanted this photo to depict the very real and sad state they are in. Jim was kind enough to down-size the original beds to a more manageable space for me to work with and replaced the mostly clay soil with much better soil, umm 2 years ago… so I am way over due to make this space FABLOUS!
here is the sketch Erin put together… I am returning to JVI next week to pick up a few more choices we made that were not in the nursery yet…
Yes, they are in the garage until after the Easter weekend… By then the weather should be warm enough for my babies… I can’t tell you how much joy I get from this table of plants! It’s going to be a great growing season…. I’m sure I’ll blog some updates..
I can’t believe it’s almost been 2 weeks since our beach trip to FL. and I haven’t blog any photos yet… Hopefully after Easter I’ll get some processed and blogged….
I will be away from my email the rest of the week, returning Monday…
Happy Easter to all…
