Patio furniture came out of storage this weekend and I made two trips to the garden center. First one just to look, second one to buy. It turned out to be quite a shopping spree. What came home: a hellebore, 3 strawberry plants, ferns, some lily of the valley, a bunch of seed packets (wish me luck with these, I'm feeling a bit intimidated that I will actually be able to coax them to grow), and a few little house plants. Okay, now I have my work cut out for me to plant these.


I have a huge crush on the color of this hellebore. It's called cotton candy. Perfect. Feels like I'm writing a flower blog these days. It's just that season, you know.

Tis the season for growing things! These are lovely. I need to plant some herb pots for my windowsill (in lieu of a real garden)

I love the colors on your patio. So inviting....
I took out our table and chairs too. Can't wait to be more outdoor.

We don't have such pretty seed packets in England.
Good luck with your planting.

thanks, michelle, the furniture colors feel cheerful to me too! happy spring :)

hi angela, it's almost warm enough in the afternoons to sit out for a little while. i'm looking forward it getting a little warmer.

hi jo, yes, i think it was the prettiness of the seed packets that made me buy so many! now just got to plant them!
