Here is my yard as of mid-April! A Jazz Festival sponsored by my city was held across the street from my house on 4/18/09. My neighbor & I had almost 80 people over for a cook-out.
My Scotch Broom was in full bloom, with columbine to the left, Solomon's seal to the right and irises behind. I put zinnias and a gerbera daisy in the pot at my back steps.
My wisteria flowers were waning a bit, but I put annuals in my "circle."
Tomorrow, for Tablescape Thursday I will show you my table set up on my porch for the porch party portion of the Jazz Festival. :D Jewel
Hi Jewel,
ReplyDeleteThis is so very lovely! That scotch broom is really nice, I don't know if I have ever seen one before. Look at all the annuals you've planted, they look so pretty and I bet your very tired. Cindy
That wisteria is really beautiful, and your flowers are so bright and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteI love the sundial garden with all annuals and the hot colors of summer. Sonia/Miss Bloomers

Oh my look at your glorious Wisteria! What a great yard you have! Happy O.W. to you...
ReplyDeleteAh -- still LOVE that wisteria!
ReplyDeleteYour Scotch Broom is beautiful. Do you find it invasive? I finally yanked out two at our last house -- we had such limited garden space and they were taking over!
Plus my kids were little and didn't like how they smelled. Oy, kids.
Great annual bed --love the circle!

That's a BIG cookout! Your yard looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love all your pretty bloom! Went out today and have just a few things beginning to come out- My iris are budding and can't wait to see them! I planted last year and many of the marker came off so am not sure if all the varieties are here or not-
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving a thought on my little business venture- I sure wish I was as creative as some of you gals out in blogland-- it is amazing the talent!!
