Fairy bench/spring pictures

18 years ago

The first picture has a little painted bench that sits in the bed by my back door... I really thought I'd post a few spring pictures but have to have some junk in them to make them legal!! LOL! The photos are not the best but maybe they will brighten someone's cold day. Just some daffodils, creeping phlox, two small forsythia bushes I started from cuttings. And my one and only rose bush...Enjoy and don't mind my terrible spelling!!!

Thanks for restoring my faith that spring will return! We had a blizzard last week that dumped 20" of snow on us. It has warmed up but there are still huge piles of dirty looking show everywhere. My daffs are only out of the ground about 1/2". Thank you for sharing yours with us!

You are welcome!! Mimi, Your talkin to a buckeye born and raised!!! I remember those storms. In fact my mom was visiting her sister during that big storm. Mom has lived in Fl for about 30yrs now. I thought it was funny but she didn't!!!

And we're having Indian Summer here! Temps in the 90's, think yesterday reached 100. Ugh. I'm lazy this week from the heat. Have no energy to do anything.

How easy was it to propagate the forsythia? Mine has BUDS opening on it!! Crazy. Reminds me of 'home'.

Your little Fairy bench is so cute! (thought I should mention it since it is GJ HAHA)

Cait, they are very easy just take a cutting and put it in dirt!! Just keep it moist. I've read you can leave the branch attached and just pin it down in the dirt and it will take root then just cut it free from the mother plant, dig it up and place in it's new home.

Bright, I love your beautiful, spring gardens! Send some of it our way...we still have lots of snow on the ground. I did notice some of my irises popping up near the edge of our house! I always love to see your yard and gardens! Always inspiring! I love forsythia bushes...our deer love them too. I'm going to spray the plants this year with Liquid Fence which really worked in our yard last year! Your brick makes such a nice background to your gardens. Thanks for giving me hope that spring will come! :o) Thanks for posting some great pictures! Bear Hugs! Kirk

Thanks Bright for sharing your pictures! We had two 50 degree days, but today it's back to the upper 30s. I'm tempted to rake up all the leaves off of the gardens, but I think it might be too early for that. It's not unusual to have a frost in May!
