    Well I would like to be where you are!! It's not safe to plant anything here until after May 1st. I do have some perennials coming up though. Yours are gorgeous for sure, your pics are so vivid I can almost smell them.

    Goodness, your garden is beautiful! It sure is thriving. Between the lilacs and the stock it I'll bet it smells wonderful. Hope you have a great visit with Amy 🙂

  4. Wow, beautiful! We woke up to 3 inches of fresh snow yesterday and it was 14 degrees this am.

    Oh, I'm so jealous, I haven't even uncovered my babies yet, it's been so cold here in Montana. My plum tree is so full of buds/blossoms, more than I have ever seen. . . so glad I cut some branches to force inside, the rest are froze and toast. . . I did enjoy the daffodils and hyacinth when it bloomed, but the weight of the snow broke them off. . . (:( sigh) beautiful photos, have fun with Amy and thanks for sharing. . .

    Your lavender and sage are gorgeous and must smell heavenly. I am still waiting for our temps to go up before planting. Such a lovely garden!

  16. Stacey Smith says:

    Your blooms are lovely! I can't wait to get my garden finished.

    Does the Tangerine Sage taste like their name?

  17. How stunningly beautiful! I wish we could get some rain so that flowers would bloom. This is one of the first springs where I've seen so few wildflowers that Texas is supposed to be so famous for.

  22. I too have been obsessed with Stock lately! I buy it everytime I see it at the grocery store. Your plants look beautiful! I'll have to keep my eye out for some of those this spring. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Anne

  23. I'm green with envy over your pretty blooms. Here in Minnesota were just hoping spring will arrive soon and all this snow will go away.

  24. Faded Charm says:

    Looks like Spring is alive and blooming in your neck of the woods. Everything looks beautiful! I, too, love the way stock smells and buy blooms whenever I can find them and I also just bought some Spanish lavender. I have never tried this variety, so I hope it survives for me.

    Enjoy your week with Amy and her family…..lucky girls!

    Oh, oooooh, oh !! Becky i am going out into m'y porch garden to rip it out after my visit with you here. It's absolutely breathtaking. Love the ladder up against the wall adding beauty of grey's to your garden.

    I am so inspired by your touches of this and that's here and there, everything you create is of grace and beauty, new and old, salvage and recreate. Such an inspiration to what can be done with the love of rustic and all things romantic.

    A beautifully inspiring weekend to you.
