Here’s a little nook close to my shed. My mother-in-law bought the planter for me several years ago. I love the way the flowers fill in and look like one giant mass of impatients. I also hung an antique pitch fork on the fence and hung a flower basket from the top. Country Gardens magazine always features gardeners with cute things like this hanging from their fences, so I thought I’d try it too. I planted impatients in that planter too. I have to say, I’m feeling impatient for my impatients to start growing.
I’ve been busy with a little of this too. We actually had THREE dry days IN A ROW!!! We put the chair cushions out, put our feet up, and roasted marshmallows. Ahhh. It’s starting to feel like Spring.
You have motivated me to get to my flower beds! I too am a teacher and it has taken me two days of doing absolutely nothing (in order to get over the closing of a school year)and your post to get back to my blog and start some projects. Thank you!
