Dreaming of Spring

Ever since we decided against moving this year I have been dreaming of spring.  I can't wait to get outside and see the new sprouts of perennials.  My annuals vary from year to year in terms of cost.  I spent less last year as a challenge to myself.  I bought 3 colors and 3 different textures and 2 green accents I could split and place in multiple flower pots.  It worked well.  I even grew some tomato plants on the patio in larger empty planters I had left over.  There is one rescue plant I and very anxious to watch grow this year.  I have always loved butterfly bushes and bought one at the end of the season for $3.  It has had two years to grow and get healthy.  I can't wait to see it this year.  Check out my Ferns, Fairies and Fennel page for other garden plans I have for 2012.
