Spring time and flowers






Well I've started to brighten the color of things around here. Back last year in November I bought a plant stand from friendshipgarden.com- they had a booth at the Wimberly trade days. So I planted an assortment of flowers in those pots and put in my pot hangers. We also had an old metal wheel barrow that we made into a large flower bed. The plant stand turned out great :) I just love all the colors in it.

Now my trouble is trying to keep my puppy out of all of the plants and away from grabbing my pot hangers thinking that they are toys. We planted some tulip and hyacinth bulbs and they are all up and starting to bloom.

My spinach and onions are planted and I am going to try to start some cucumbers, squash and broccoli in smaller pots, then move them to my bigger pots! I love all of the gardening and flower planting. You can work all day then look back and see all the pretty things that got accomplished.

With all this rain we should have a beautiful spring. I planted a couple packages of some wild flowers and I think they will be pretty mixed in with all of the bluebonnets!
