I have a couple small beds (maybe 6' x 4' or 5') and a little patio that all get fairly good sunlight. Last year we got a bit of a late started in the garden but experimented with some herbs in containers and lettuce and carrots in the beds and had pretty good success. I'm excited to try growing some different veggies this year. I'm very much an inexperienced gardener so trying to learn as much as I can!

I've only ever grown food so putting in flower beds will be a big adjustment for me. I don't even know where to start, I just keep grabbing things that look pretty -- I hope in the end they are all cohesive.

Mr Richmond brought me one he'd salvaged from work last fall, we weren't sure it was even alive. I planted it in the front bed (it gets morning sun) and it's sprung to life in the last month! It's honestly one of the most exciting things, seeing something that looks like a goner jump back to life and begin to thrive!Jane Richmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492264764645494958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8775005854493251595.post-19534677622786138792014-04-09T10:27:51.501-07:002014-04-09T10:27:51.501-07:00I learned last year that a little planter of somet...I learned last year that a little planter of something in the shade is infinitely better than growing nothing at all!

...Oh, how I love the smell of dirt. *blissful sigh<br /><br />Our yard and garden(s) have evolved over the 5 1/2 years we've lived here. We created a lot of garden beds and a berm at our previous house (pre-kids), and we were able to bring some of the plants with us. I tend to lean toward perennials (tulips, daylilies, coneflower, daylilies, daffodils, daylilies :), crocus, [all those other ones that can't remember the names of]). We have a bed in front of our house, though, that is north-facing and gets only the crumbs of light. We plant impatiens there, especially the double/rosebud variety. <br /><br />I could blabber for a month because it is FINALLY not winter in Wisconsin!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11921980885794324934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8775005854493251595.post-15734680533481607762014-04-09T05:10:35.903-07:002014-04-09T05:10:35.903-07:00I love knowing that spring is showing up in some p...I love knowing that spring is showing up in some parts of Canada! We are still under a few feet of snow here in northern Ontario! But I do have faith that it will disappear before the end of the month. I don't garden much. I have Anabelle that come back every year in my shaded beds in the front. Lavender is a favorite to grow in the sun. I tend to enjoy growing things in pots like kale, herbs and tomatoes on the back deck. zenitudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07964965442496828849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8775005854493251595.post-18448304536650624782014-04-08T21:01:44.301-07:002014-04-08T21:01:44.301-07:00yay!
