I love Spring. The weather becomes warm, thunderstorms start again, and I crave to be outside whenever possible! Last year, it was incredibly rewarding to see what the annuals we planted coming back. In the case of the hostas, they were even larger than the previous year. (Each year they get a little bigger!) Now, this year, I cannot wait to see what everything will look like! I get way too anxious waiting, which causes me to become nervous -- Will everything come back?! Why isn't this blooming yet?! It should have leaves by now! Reality check -- it is the beginning of April.
While our garden starts to bloom, we have been frequenting plant nurseries more. My hosta wish list continues to grow, as do our gardens! Good pairing, right?! I have already purchased my first hosta of the year - one I was eyeballing last year. (So, I may have a slight addiction, or fascination with hosta....) Soon, farmers markets will be in full swing and I will be scoping out plants at those events, as well. It's an exciting time in the Midwest!
Hope that Spring and warmer temperatures are with you, as well! Here's hoping for no more freezes and lots of blooming plants!
