Annie's Annuals ..... or why I've been gone so long from Photoblog lately. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's Time to Plant!!!!!

2009.06.01
It all began in the Garden

One of many demonstration gardens






Luscious poppies!

More poppies


Note the garden gnome in the birdcage hanging from the trellis. Lot's of fun little surprises at Annies!

Poppies once more

An overview of row after row of Annies 4" pots

Plant heaven











It's garden season!!!! I've been busting my butt for the last several weekends weeding, planting, pruning, transplanting, garden designing..... you get the idea. It's a busy time of year. And I love it. My best friend Linda & I do our annual Spring nursery weekend in April. And one of our favorite nurseries is Annies Annuals. Annie started out selling plants out of her home. Then she expanded into a wholesale nursery, opening to the public only 3-4 times a year. Now she is open all year round. She mostly has 4 inch pots for about $3 - $4 dollars each. And her selection is incredible. Annuals & perennials. Stuff you don't find anywhere else. So needless to say, I stocked up. And it's taken me several weekends to get it all planted. So now that I've got most of it in the ground I will hopefully have some time to catch up with everyone.


And I will be posting garden posts throughout the summer to show you how my flower gardens are progressing. Whew, time for a siesta!!!!
