early gardening

May 13, 2022

white bleeding heart

May is the time for gardening…and, it is the time when my creative spirit moves from the indoors to the outdoors.  Typically, in this part of Connecticut, Mother’s Day is the ‘all clear’ for frost scares and it is on for planting annuals!

This time of year is so fun – using free time to visit nurseries to hunt for the perfect garden additions, adding plants to the garden, and planting annuals in containers.  For me, this includes searching for the new and unusual in white plants/flowers.  (If you follow this blog, you know I have what I call a ‘virgin’ garden – all the flowers bloom in whites!)

My garden is off to a great start!  It looks as though all my plants are doing well – the established and the new!

I am starting off the season with just a couple of planted containers.  I redesigned the basket by my front door with some spring annuals and planted in my grandma’s watering can.

A small start, but one that brings me great joy!

I hope you find happiness in a pretty plant that you walk by each day or a visit to a local garden store!

Thanks for stopping by!

Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
