While Holly is off enjoying herself on vacation I'm popping in to visit. Here in Ontario spring and summer are totally holding out on us, but I thought I would try to convince them to stop being so stingy by sharing one of my favourite things about the warmer weather.
One of the things I love most about spring and summer is the plants! I love when the garden is colourful with pretty flowers and the backyard is full of fresh veggies. I love keeping a garden because fresh veggies are pretty much the best thing ever.
Last year we had a pretty good garden going. We haven't planted anything yet this year but take at look at this...
Those collard greens and that purple lettuce-y plant (technical name of course) survived the winter and started growing again this spring! I think that is pretty impressive! So of course while I was out there I picked some collard greens and had them for lunch!
Do you keep a garden? What types of things do you plant?

this makes me so excited to move and be able to at least plant flowers
ReplyDeletei have a very small garden, since it's all in trays, but when i just moved to the house i live in i felt it so so empty without plants... somehow it's like my granny says: plants are silent good partners, once you learn to understand their fellowship :)
ReplyDeleteI have a jasmine tree, an hibiscus, geraniums, three "dollar plants" as we call here (plectranthus ciliatus), an "incense plant" (Plectranthus coloides variegata), one we call 'wedding ribbon' and others i can't remember the names, i love them!
