Garden Update, May 8th 2017
Can you believe two weeks have flown by since the first garden update?! How does time fly faster each week? Thanks to Iowa weather, we had almost a week straight of rain and cold temps, so I was wondering if I was ever going to get to dig in the dirt! Praise the good Lord, the sun came out last week and the rain stopped, so dirt has dried up and I went shopping for my flowers with my mom!
I’m so excited to give you a tour of my gardens this week because I finally got my annual flowers planted and even snagged a couple new perennials as well! So, let’s just get to showing you all the goodness!
If you followed along last year, you’ll know that I have flower boxes and a plantar by my front door, a raised bed around our flag pole and a couple pots that all get annuals. I also have a spot that I call the North bed which is all perennials and thanks to my friends at Natural Plus Nursery, it seems to get something new each year!
North Perennial Bed
So, we’ll start with the North bed! This year I added a Firewitch that will bloom pink! I’m so excited about this as the leaves are a completely different shade green as the other items in this bed and the pink will be a fun color! It will also be a shorter plant so, it’ll offset all the phlox I have in this bed! I’m looking forward to seeing how it grows and spreads throughout the year!
