A Poppy Garden: Contentment
http://apoppygarden.blogspot.com/2012/04/contentment.html
Wednesday, April 4, 2012. Contentment. Something I'm striving for. I see so many people around me unhappy with the little things in their life that they should be happy about, but they focus on every little negative thing. If I can find one thing each day to be happy about, that should be a good day. The little cracks may be there, but when it comes down to it, they don't mean a damn thing.

A Poppy Garden: New Additions
http://apoppygarden.blogspot.com/2012/04/new-additions.html
Wednesday, April 4, 2012. We bought a couple of new additions to the garden already this year, my favorite of course being my large stone buddha. I saw him weeks ago at the garden shop, wrapped up on a pallet and fell in love with him. I waited and found him tucked in with banana trees starting to come up in the greenhouse the other day and convinced the hubby that he really needed to come home with us. Also, my hubby loves the little lantana plants so we've put a couple of new ones for the summer. T...

A Poppy Garden: Just me and my spring garden
http://apoppygarden.blogspot.com/2012/04/just-me-and-my-spring-garden.html
Wednesday, April 4, 2012. Just me and my spring garden. My wild oriental poppies are coming up slowly, but in a few weeks, they'll be leggy, delicate dark red blooms, waving at me every morning when I leave for work. My husband thinks they look like weeds, and they do a bit, that is until they bloom. And once they bloom, they are incredible, gorgeous and short lived. I love it, you can hack it apart, split it, ignore it and it still blooms all summer and into the fall. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A Poppy Garden: Patience and Peonies
http://apoppygarden.blogspot.com/2012/04/patience-and-peonies.html
Wednesday, April 18, 2012. We planted a couple of Peony bulbs in our garden about 4 years ago. One has gotten quite a bit larger, still not really 2 feet tall yet, but has bushed out a bit and is actually going to bloom this year! It's been so long, I can't remember what I planted. Pink doubles? At the house I grew up in and my Gramma's house as well, there were always rows of peony bushes. It seemed like everyone had them. We had little round vases especially for those blooms. You'd cut one ...

A Poppy Garden: Hostas and the Lazy Gardener
http://apoppygarden.blogspot.com/2012/04/hostas-and-lazy-gardener.html
Wednesday, April 18, 2012. Hostas and the Lazy Gardener. I'm a lazy gardener. I admit it. The hubby takes care of all the hard stuff, but I like to putter about. One plant we grow takes almost no work from either of us. My kinda plant! Hostas are super easy, are perennials in most areas, grow rapidly and take very little care after the first year. We have about 20 varieties in different spots depending on how much sun or shade the bed gets. Our local farmer's market has a couple of stalls selling hosta s...

A Poppy Garden: April 2012
http://apoppygarden.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 18, 2012. I always used to think of ferns as those great big hanging basket, Boston Fern types that were either on old ladies front porches or withering away in the corner of an office somewhere. Over the last few years, I've started a quiet love affair with ferns of all types. From the standard Japanese Painted Fern to the spindly Ostrich Fern, to an odd little Ghost Fern and Dixie Wood Fern I just found, I love them all. Hostas and the Lazy Gardener. One plant we grow takes almost no w...
