Gardening

I didn't grow up working in the garden. My mom had a small bed where she'd plant impatience and we had a lot of potted plants in our house.

It hasn't been until the last few years that I've really enjoyed getting in the yard and planning what I'm going to nurture and grow.

I have huge plans for the front bed. The pink azaleas will be blooming soon. The purple and gold pansies are teasing my Alabama neighbors. I split the double-bearded irises so I don't think they will bloom this year, but I'll wait. It will be worth it. The lilies are also doing something a little different this year, too.

I've also put in some lantana, petunias, electric lime coleus and caladiums. I can't wait to see what happens!
