this clematis started as a seedling the size of my pinkie finger
I love spring.
I love to take walks around my yard,
observing how my plant have grown since the day before.
I say my plants because they have all been planted by me.
Every single one.
When we purchased this home, there was nothing in the backyard.
I have always dreamed of a garden of my own.
A place to plant and read and dream.
My garden of 12 years is finally starting to fill out and take shape.
I'm not a patient person but gardening has made me
understand that all good things come to those who wait.
Being a stay at home mom and having a small budget for gardening has taught me to
buy things small and allow them to grow.
I've learned, I'm in no hurry.
This honeysuckle vine started in a one gallon container. Now six years later,
it attracts hummingbirds all day long.
My favorite place to visit is my hosta garden.
Some day soon, I plan for no ground to show.
Only perennials.
The rose bush in the center is a four year old knockout rose.
I love them!!
Red knockout rose with a yellow climbing rose behind it.
I know my garden isn't yet the garden of my dreams but I know it will be
someday soon.

your garden is lovely!! i had a few honeysuckle vines similar to yours and i loved them. but each year they were plagued with aphids and i had to get rid of all of them. so sad!
thanks for the package i received in the mail. i love every little thing you sent! good trade!!
you garden is beautiful - there is something very special about growing a garden and digging in the dirt - i never wear gloves i like to get my hands dirty. i agree that spring is a beautiful season - its all about waking up and stretching, growing and becoming new again. at the moment we are going into autumn is SA, which is also a beautiful time as everything takes a rest, recharges and slows down.
Such lovely flowers--such a treat! Enjoy it.
I love your work in Somerset and I'm so happy I found your blog!
