So what did I do with this beautiful day? Why played in the gardens, of course. After donning my garden shoes (I know, nasty, right?), I thought that maybe it's time to trade them in for something more durable, maybe even waterproof. But then again, there is comfort in the familiar. And why would I want to spend money on new garden shoes when I can spend it on new garden PLANTS!So after cleaning all the debris and leaves from the perennial beds, I hopped on to the Bluestones Perennials website and put a few more must have hostas in my cart. Here's what I chose:
Peanut
Devil's Advocate
Independence
Blue Ivory
They were on sale... my common defense. How many hostas can a girl have? Turns out, not enough.
On a side note, here's what's peeking up from the earth these days:
Bleeding Heart
Daffodils
Cherry Bells
Virginia Bluebells
Heuchera
Sedum - several varieties
Bee Balm (MMMM... how I missed that smell all winter!)
Iris
Perennial Bachelor Button
Daylilies - several varieties
Bishop's Cap
Monkshood
Obedient Plant
Nepeta
Chives (and I made potato salad today JUST so I could have something to add chives to!)
Jacob's Ladder
Primrose
Perennial mums
Lungwort
There was probably more, but this is the best my memory serves me at almost midnight after a very, very busy day. This full body exhaustion is just more proof that the 2012 garden season is off to a wonderful, early start!
Hi Billie Jo!
ReplyDeleteLOL. Your garden shoes look so perfect and comfy!
Those are beautiful hostas that you choose. Anything blooming yet?

Diane, - I have one lonely little grape hyacinth that is going to bloom any day now, otherwise everything else is about an inch tall at this point! :)
DeleteHow about you?
Hey thanks for swinging by. My husband got the greenhouse from Snap and Grow on the internet. It was pretty easy to put together. I know how you feel waiting for plants to bloom. Good luck.
