Around The Yard | March 2018

One of the things on my list to create this year are videos sharing more about my yard and what it looks like during different times of the year. 

Being out in my yard is a personal passion - I enjoy getting my hands dirty and growing specific kinds of plants. I tend to be a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants gardner but my hope is to learn more specifics about working in my yard (via experimentation, research, etc). I've lived in this house for eight years now and there are so many things I have on my mental yard list that I need to get written down and documented in order to make some of those things a reality. 

As some of you might remember we removed a bunch of grass and added in slate to expand the size of the patio last summer. I'm still feeling super happy with that decision and now it's time to focus back on the surrounding beds. 

The main thing that's happening in my yard right now are lots of tulip and daffodil bulbs popping up. I put a bunch of bulbs into my raised beds last fall to try a new space and to simply grow more bulbs that I will be able to cut and bring inside. Bringing the outside inside is one of my favorite things. Blubs coming up in my yard currently are from Floret. I am a super fan of Floret and you can read more about my experience visiting there for a workshop back in 2016 here

    Wow. I had no idea your yard was so big. It’s great to have separate areas. The stoned area looks wonderful. Am looking forward to seeing the progress each month!

    Thank you for the tour. Your inspiration to video your yard has given me inspiration to do a video walk through my yard. A great idea! Thank you.

    In all the years I have been reading your blog and wishing you would do MY PL, I don't think I have ever seen a shot from the far side of the side yard facing the house and wisteria portico. Lots going the other way, kids in sprinklers and whatnot, the tree felling, etc. Interesting angle. Beautiful spaces!

    I can't tell you how much I enjoyed watching this video. I love gardening, making plans for the garden, and enjoying the fruits of my labor there. I'm in east central Florida so I have a tree right outside my kitchen window full of hanging orchids. Can't wait for your next update.
