Oh, yes.

The older I get the more I learn that I can only handle one thing at a time. Been working in my garden for weeks now, It keeps calling me. But today I wanted to spend a little time in my art studio surrounded by some of my pretties. Now to actually work on a project, lol. 

Found a new home for my Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.

This beautiful plant my mom gave one to me my sister and one to me. She made the trip from Miami to south Alabama. My sister's is doing beautifully, her plant is in full bloom now. Mine, I think was in a way too shaded area. I decided to transplant her next to this little stepping stone side path that connects the kitchen garden to the cottage garden. She will get lots of sun in this stop and I'll get to see her from our double glass back door. 

I love Yesterday Today and Tomorrow, yes the shades of colors are beautiful. But, OMG the fragrance is divine.  Thank you Mima. 

        She's got pretty new shoots coming up, can't wait for mine to bloom.

SPRING IS HERE.

Found a home for this Nasturtium and a little playing with my rocks. Spring is here in zone 8b, now to find homes for all my winter sow babies. I need more garden space, lol. 

e, lol.

Walk around the garden in mid March.

Spring is here in my new Zone 8b. Our last frost date is March 17th, but that can always change. I do have a larger garden space to play with now, but it's still very manageable. Jamo got me some garden fleece material that I've been wanting, I'll use that to cover the plants in case of  a late frost. Have to take pictures of my kitchen garden, lots of lettuces, spinach, snap peas and herbs are coming up.  

These beautiful Irises have reproduced so much that I'm relocating some all over.  

We have lots of this Sweet Kate Spiderwort growing wild all over the back yard. I have integrated some along the flower cutting garden. I love a bit of purple in the garden.

I can't believe these Pansies are still blooming from last fall.They love the cool weather and they can sure take a frost. These were just an experiment, but will be a fall fav from now on.

Azaleas are starting to bloom already, so beautiful. All my neighbors have them, they're a garden staple here in the south.

My side cutting garden will have lots of yellow, purple and orange with a little pink towards the end leading the eye to the Cottage garden area. I'm naming all my gardens, to make my design and labeling easier on me as I journal.

I planted just a few Tulips and Hyacinths in a couple of urns, just to see how they would do and apparently they do great in this zone. Definitely planting lots of bulbs this fall.

Oh, my first Tulips.

I'm so excited about these beautiful Tulips and Hyacinths, never been able to grow them before. They're just popping up all over the public spaces here in our little town and they look simply gorgeous. I went with a pink palette and I'm so adding to it for next year. 

I do think I planted them too close to the boxwood, so next year they're getting a container just them.   

I sure hope she's a Camellia.

 I found her at a garage sale and they had no idea what it was. I mainly got it for the pretty pot, but now just look at her, ready to bloom. I sure hope it's a Camellia, I don't have one. She looks so healthy and pretty.
