It certainly would bring home the high cost of war. <br />Even where trampled, your garden is coming along by leaps and bounds. I admire the gate to the backyard each time you show it and the porch furniture and pillows were a steal!

Unfortunately, I tend to be a 'sticker!' Yep, I see a plant I like, bring it home and THEN think, "Now where can I put this?!" I'm going to follow your lead and do a little more planning when dividing these guys! Love the bucket of sidewalk chalk! Reminded me of when I used to decorate around our kids toys. We spent a lot of time outside, too.

Then I see the photo on the side of you and the little beans, so pretty. Enjoy your week, and there is always hope, also for our gardens. Wish you and yours all the happiness there is.

I think I watered them twice in the week after I put them in the planters and haven't done a thing to them since!

I've tried to find some of that Japanese Forest Grass at a reasonable price, but it hasn't happened yet. It's crazy how a trend will jack up the prices of such common plants - that I'm sure are more than easy to propagate. I love that little strip where you have yours. Which one is Snow On The Mountain, the leaf with the white edge? I've never even heard of it. I'm not familiar with the Blue Star, either.<br /><br />Your peony is going to be gorgeous. And there's that Brunnera again, another one I'm on the hunt for.<br /><br />All of your fencing and arbors look so pretty. I love the color of new wood like that as a backdrop. <br /><br />Your porch pots are gonna be stunning! Those begonias are seriously impressive. Is that just one plant in each!?<br /><br />Everything is comin' along great! So pretty.<br /> Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247379600555185331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844918151906144405.post-42490940053140554542014-05-28T03:41:00.348-07:002014-05-28T03:41:00.348-07:00Dear Nicole,

Your garden has a beautiful new spring garden look and I love the all the lime greens. I hope your baptisia does well. On Sunday, I saw these huge, glorious masses of baptisia and took a few photos of it. It is on my wish list now.

You would be proud of me as I tackled those weeds today when we had a break in the rain, I feel much better now things are looking in order! Our Lilac is smelling lovely right now, it's one of my favourites. I am sure we have a snowball viburnum too, or similar, this is the first year it has flowered for us. Thank you for sharing your wonderful photos, Nicole!
