Streetside spring blooms…
March 27, 2011
Just a highlight of a few blooms popping out in the new front bed. It's a work in progress...It's the only pre-existing bed at the new house- a crecent shaped bed that sits in front of a concrete circular drive. It's really the main feature of the front landscape. It was full of Bermuda grass, some dead zinnias, groundcover junipers in poor shape and a large row of 30-40 year-old yaupons with trunks the size of large trees! In January, I ripped out everything in the bed, amended with compost, expanded shale and some humus...and started planting. Here's what's pretty so far...
Right now the bed is planted with chard, spinach, cilantro, dill, strawberries, rosemary, rain lilies, roses, tomatoes, echinacea, daffodils, violas and more...even have baby tomatoes on the 'Sapho' plants already.
Daffodil 'Delnashaugh'
Another split corona daffodil...blanking on the cultivar at the moment
Rose 'Easy Does It'
Rose 'Pat Austin'
Even after the harsh freezes and ice in January, the strawberries are blooming and fruiting their heads off...
