Spring Cleanup Update

St. Francis Statues - Photo by Leah Quinn

For those following my ‘adopted garden’ posts, I finally took some photos of the garden as it stands now. I am most impressed with the lilacs whose buds are finally showing, the forsythia is almost spent, and the tiger day lilies are really starting to shoot up. Ahh, the wonders of spring. I also show here the statue of St. Francis that sits square in the middle of the garden that grows around….

A friend of mine is starting their own ‘blue’ garden – so I have provided you with links to help you choose a blue garden should you too wish to have an area in your garden where only blue flowers are present – a most unusual display gives way to a most interesting arrangements in vases inside your home and office.

The Garden, in the beginning

I will certainly be adding some herbs and flowers which can be added to foods – cannot wait!

Have a great day all!  ~chef maven
