Let's Take a Tour Outside

Hello everyone!

Now that things are finally greening up outside and the flowers are blooming, I thought I would share some pics around my yard.  We still have some work to do, however.  We need  to finish planting our garden,  clean the pollen off our front porch, and plant flowers in our planters.

  

Our azaleas are blooming nicely.


Our hosta is making an appearance too.



These are all planted along the walkway leading to the front porch. I'd like to add more azaleas to the other side of the porch too.


The river birch is putting out new leaves too.



Out back, we have rose bushes ready to bloom.


We also just planted our vegetable garden!  We still need to add to it though. There's not much to see right now. We currently have tomato, squash, bell pepper and jalapeno peppers planted.  


Our neighbors just put up a beautiful fence too.  We get to enjoy one side of it ourselves!


(Just ignore how splotchy our grass looks right now.  As it gets warmer it will look better.)

Our vine (forgot the name of it) is blooming on our arbor.


While I was snapping pics, my dog was doing his favorite thing! 


My poor porch planters are naked right now.  My husband is going to take me to the same nursery we went to last year to pick out some flowers for them.  Looking forward to getting the porch ready to sit outside and enjoy these pretty days before it gets blazing hot!



Hope you enjoyed the tour!

Thanks for stopping by.

  2. Your home and garden are so pretty, Kelly. I would love to have a front porch like this! The azaleas add such nice color. I never had a lot of luck with them but I do know that you can grow them in our area...must be me!!

    I can't wait to see your pots. I may get some pansies in as they like the colder weather and that's still where we're at!

    XO,

    I plant only hearty natives, as I know they will thrive in-spite of my efforts! Hahahahaaa..
    Luv the gardens Kelly.
    Hugs, Gee

  8. Your house and yard are really looking like Spring. Your hostas and azaleas look great, and how much fun it'll be to get home grown damaters, and peppers.

  14. Nobody laying in our yard chewing bones, but I hear tell it's suppose to be in the 70's this weekend. Considering we got a foot of snow last weekend that is quite the change.

  17. Your home and garden are absolutely lovely! I've tried growing azaleas (twice) and have never had good luck with them. I had them along the side of the house and someone said maybe they weren't getting enough air circulation around them? Not sure what the problem was. Anyway, yours look stunning! I would LOVE to have a front porch like yours. So pretty and I bet it's fun to decorate too. :)

  23. So pretty and so green already! Our landscape is just at the very beginning of coming alive and it is not safe to plant annuals until May long weekend here.

  24. Really enjoyed the tour, Kelly! Everything looks so green. I wish we could grow azaleas here, but I'm sure they would have a heat stroke! Your home looks so pretty.
