I too adore any plant that blooms. I find here the columbines take seed wherever they will and flower in the gazillions....and we have winds that can uproot one's house from it's foundations. Your garden is a joy, Angie and in a couple of seasons you will not believe how much it has thrived. As for the seasons, they will not be controlled; they just come whenever they decide to. Thank you for the beautiful stroll through your garden. Your dad would be very proud of his daughter and 'her' garden.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782099930159071920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232521537292473964.post-77042110015418606172020-05-28T12:07:31.055-06:002020-05-28T12:07:31.055-06:00I used to have a lot in the community garden a few...I used to have a lot in the community garden a few years ago but the one here is not being worked i=on because of the virus.

What I love is that you have a wide variety of plants from a wide variety of sources and some work, some don't, some do great, some not so great. You made some mistakes, you had a lot of success. You are fighting off the bugs. You are a tinkerer and will change a few things and see how it does. I love all that about gardening. I just don't like doing it myself.Yogi♪♪♪https://www.blogger.com/profile/00411274031147372579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232521537292473964.post-72559677902776349682020-05-27T09:45:11.120-06:002020-05-27T09:45:11.120-06:00Oh thank you for sharing your garden with me and s...Oh thank you for sharing your garden with me and so glad your Dad's spirit is with you ~ great photos ~ <br /><br />Be Safe, Be Well,<br /><br />A ShutterBug Explores,<br /><br />aka (A Creative Harbor)carol l mckennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06151914466378663660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232521537292473964.post-88779107374417538112020-05-27T06:47:35.554-06:002020-05-27T06:47:35.554-06:00i like that your garden resembles your dads, you w...i like that your garden resembles your dads, you will always think of him as you walk around it!! it is beautiful!! i planted my pots too soon also, but i was able to bring them into the garage where they survived fine!! you have a lot of very natural plants around you. those that were there first, spend time nurturing them and it will be bountiful!!! you have a really pretty landscape!!!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16823369215793154260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232521537292473964.post-88533413629653765982020-05-27T05:20:26.998-06:002020-05-27T05:20:26.998-06:00Once again I am amazed by your comprehensive knowl...Once again I am amazed by your comprehensive knowledge of plants Angie. Your yard/garden is looking as though it will be one big nature reserve. I am a little disappointed you squished the beetle because I am a great believer in everything having its rightful place in the system, but I admit I never heard of Blister beetles. We make an exception for the slugs that eat the young plants and leave those slimy trails everywhere.Phil Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846400106748443969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232521537292473964.post-35822506018555945592020-05-27T03:46:09.079-06:002020-05-27T03:46:09.079-06:00thank you for the tour of your garden.

I have a friend who always plants on Mother's Day, and then she wonders why they die or just sit there and do nothing. I keep telling her, it's too cold! I went to my Nursery the other day and had a nice chat with the owner. We discussed putting seeds in. She was saying how the soil hasn't even warmed up, so I could still put in some morning glories. It is a lovely day here in the south. The lilacs are going crazy and have just started to bloom. May you have a wonderful Memorial Day!

Scary! I'm a fan of wild spaces so am especially fond of volunteer plants. Nature certainly knows best where it fits in.
