A Little Peek at our Spring Flowers

hanging flower baskets on front porchWe enjoy gardening…all type’s of different gardening! We have a few fruit trees, two vegetable garden plots, a raise platform garden bed, a raspberry bush patch, a grapevine area and 3 flower garden beds. We’re not experts and continue to learn as we go along.

In the first photo above you’ll see my two new hanging baskets that I purchased for our front porch. I think they look beautiful and I like the little pop of pink color among all of the lush green. I’ll have to take another full view of our front porch once I move about a dozen indoor houseplants out onto the porch next week. I love sitting out there during the summertime.

The other two photographs show our white & yellow daffodils, various colored tulips and a few hyacinths. It needs weeded and mulched. We always wait for our spring flowers to get done blooming and then we weed our garden beds. We then plant our annuals and mulch. So, in about 3 weeks those flower beds will look a lot different.

When the spring season arrives we see our daffodils first, hyacinths second, tulips third, and then our bearded iris typically bloom. Sometimes my bleeding hearts will bloom at the same time as the irises or shortly thereafter.

Do you enjoy flower gardening? What is your favorite springtime flower? I would say that mine are purple bearded irises. I just love them!

    Your flowers look lovely. What type flowers are in your hanging baskets? I love gardening and have been busy this weekend. My favorite spring flower are my purple tulips.

  2. Your yard and flowers look gorgeous. My favorite this year is my Lilac which I have had for 4 years and it has never bloomed. Finally this year it bloomed beautifully. Worth the wait for the fragrance and color.

  3. Your flowers are beautiful! I love tulips. I’m looking forward to the warmer weather so I can plant my summer flowers.

    Your flower beds are so pretty it is unbelievable. It is amazing at all the colors coming together. I like looking at them but don’t want the effort to make them mine.

  5. Lovely flowers. I am sad that I don’t have room for flowers at my townhouse. I just go visit the botanic gardens when I need a flower fix.

    No longer live in a apartment now but I loved my flowerbeds!! I always had the spring flowers but I also had lots of others flowers that came up. My favorite was to pick some and have them in the house
