Wednesday Vignette, time spent in the garden is the good life

Small clean-up tasks that can be done in short bursts of time are a blessing during days that are mostly rainy with a dry spell or two. I had just finished cutting out broken and brown sarracenia pitchers from the "planter" with the moss, when I glanced down and saw the icy blue foliage of the Echium wildpretii below. Spring is coming! Ain't the gardening life grand?

  1. Gardening is the best and I can't imaging life without it. And yes, Spring is moving in with grand gestures, not the least of which is The Flower and Garden Festival that started today. I am so looking forward to it.

  2. Gardening may be all that keeps me sane this year. I planted my first Echium wildpretii a few weeks ago (ordered from Annie's) but it hasn't developed the wonderful characteristic shape yours has yet.

    1. I remember the first time I bought the little 4” pots. I thought it was the wrong plant. Yours will be fantastic in no time.

  3. It truly is and spring is the best because of the long wait we've had with dormancy. Happy spring cleaning!

  4. I've had a really hard time focusing on anything else this gorgeous week. It's been amazing to traipse around in a t-shirt out there!
