Spring garden . . .

I've been inspired by all the Spring posts that I've seen this week, and I thought I'd post my Spring garden from last season since it's never been seen by any of my blog friends.  Today it was frigid outside and I have cabin fever!  So humor me while I dream of Spring, and please meander through my garden, we love visitors and gardening tips are always welcome.  Please enjoy the garden tour!


My white daisy!


Need to protect the wildlife!


Echinacea 


Hydrangea


Garden along the front of the family room


Garden along the side road, this will be widened
 and lengthened this year.


A peek at my kitchen garden.

Here's a poem I learned in kindergarten, we won't discuss how many years ago!  I hope it brings a smile to your face, it still brings a smile to mine whenever I think of it!  Enjoy!


A Little Frog

I'm a little frog, just a pollywog
I live in a pool underneath a log
Just because its Spring, Spring, Spring, Spring
I just want to sing, sing, sing, sing.

    Spring!! I am staggering for the want of it. A friends old Irish grandmother use to say that when she wanted something badly. Beautiful gardens and granite. Can't wait to see more later.

    Cute poem--there are only 17 days until Spring. I have been counting down the days since last autumn. I love the renewal that Spring brings to us all.

    You will have a beautiful garden come warmer weather, I'm sure! I wish I had the green thumb, but I have to enjoy flowers and plantings by looking at the neighbors' yards. I kill things! LOL I've tried to grow herbs, too. The operative word is "tried" - can you say I failed?!

    Just think, Mary, in one mnth the crocus will be popping up ... let's hold that thought! In the meantime, I loved looking at your gardens! Can't wait to get the herbs in the ground and trim back the winterkill on the other beds and watch for shoots coming up! Like Mary said in 'The Secret Garden', "Just give me 'a bit of Earth'!"

    Beautiful pictures. It's fun to see Spring when the wind is blowing the snow outside my windows in Alaska. It was fun hearing how our husbands are alike when you stopped by my blog.

    I can't wait to see flowers again in the garden! I'm so envious of your blue hydrangeas, mine always want to turn pinkish. I guess it's all in the soil.

    What a lovely garden. Hydrangeas are my favorites. I can't wait to get back to the mountains to start my herb garden. Never too soon to plan.

    Waht a beautifully neat garden you have!
    I love the echinaceas - one of my fav flowers.
    And simple white daisies - you can't beat them - and i love hydrangeas too - they are amazing throughout their long season, and then are fantasic dried indoors - real eye candy value.
    Your garden must look beautiful in the spring, I bet you are longing for the snow to go.
    Thanks for showing the lovely photos
