I haven't been keeping up with much quilting, but, praise God, thanks to perennials, the garden goes on!
Here are a few pictures from this morning. Warning,.....there are LOTS of Daisies ! Years ago, I stopped alongside a country road and dug up a few clusters of Daisies that were growing wild. I moved them when I moved to this place, and they continue to grow and spread. I have to make myself mow them sometimes, but this one patch that I leave out by my shade garden is becoming my 'field of Daisies', and I love it. I guess it'll be more of a daisy patch, but that's fine. It makes me smile.
These Salvia beside the front porch are really 'givers', just showing out every Spring !
And I have quite a few Sweet Williams plants scattered all around the place. I love how they come up in different colors within the same little patch.
There's a double Knockout Rose at the entrance of the driveway, and a little birdhouse, in the shape of a little travel trailer, adorning the address sign.
My Coreopsis (yellow) didn't do much last year, but I took the time to spread it's seed afterwards, and they came back wonderfully this year. That golden touch is so refreshing and eye-catching !
Out in the shade garden, the Spiderwort is slowing spreading itself with new little bunches here and there. I love that, as long as it doesnt just take over ! I sprinkled it with Blood Meal when it first started coming in again this Spring, and even kindo 'tented' branches over the clumps, to keep the deer away. Oh how they love the new green sprouts ! Probably like we look forward to our first garden tomato of the year.
