~Spring Planting~
By the way…
Do you enjoy gardening? Not as much as I used to. When I first moved into this house, I loved the idea of planting new flowers every spring and fall. I still do, but I just don’t enjoy getting out and actually doing it anymore! 🙂 I do though, and I tend to buy more flowers than I actually want to kneel down and plant.
If so, what do you plant in the spring? After Easter and the threat of frost passes, I plant several window boxes, hanging baskets, and flower beds of spring and summer annuals. Usually petunias, marigolds, moss rose, portulaca, periwinkles, things like that. I love color, and lots of it!
Do you plant flower beds, maybe a vegetable garden? Fill us in. Flowers, although I have really been wanting to plant herbs. I tried a couple last year, but they died when we went on vacation to Washington DC (too hot and no water). I am going to try again this year, I think. I want to plant herbs I can use in cooking (basil, thyme, chives, rosemary, parsley, things like that. But no cilantro. Ick. Tastes like dish soap to me!)
If gardening isn’t your forte, what other spring activity do you enjoy? I love to sit out on my deck and watch the birds, hear my windchimes singing, read a book and soak up the sunshine. I love spring and being able to be outside and not pouring sweat or melting. Which will happen soon enough. Come June, July and August, I will only want to stay inside with the AC running full blast. It just gets too hot and humid here for me in the summer to be outside all that much.
HI Stacy!
I had to laugh when you said you tend to buy more flowers than you actually want to kneel down and plant. 🙂 I do the exact same thing. lol I get so gung ho buying the plants, then I just dread having to put all of them in the ground. I do love to look at them though.
I was thinking about growing some herbs too. Maybe on my window sill inside where they won’t get too hot.
Hope you’re having a good Sunday! {{Hugs}} 🙂
