I found the most lovely little garden center...






This place is at the back of an 1860 Victorian house at the edge of a town. The area with the vines over it is where the herbs and flowers for sale are displayed. The rock-edged planting beds are where she has her kitchen garden. The place is just wonderful and it was so inspiring. It's incredible what you can accomplish with a garden if you just start doing a good job clearing away the weeds and invasive plants, amending the soil properly and taking time to establish good perennials for the area.

I hope you like garden posts, because there will be a bunch to follow. When I got home from Dallas Sunday afternoon, several things I'd planted last year had bloomed to welcome me home. I felt rewarded. Gardening makes me so happy, and it feels good to have my own little plot of earth again. :)

I like gardening posts. I hope that you'll have some tomatoes and herbs (basil, rosemary, maybe some oregano) come in, because that means that you'll have some good cooking posts, too.

I am loving your garden posts.
You'd probably lik it here right now; primula, forget-me-nots, bluebells etc. growing everywhere. I'd forgotten how pretty an English spring is.
