Wednesdays In The Garden

I like to schedule Wednesday mornings to be in the garden.

Having a weekly schedule for 

for trimming and fluffing

helps me keep my garden happy.

Today I worked my little front courtyard.

First thing on my list was 

to move the baby tears 

I used for an Easter centerpiece in the living room

to the outside.

They were starting to wane indoors

after a week without proper light.

Just not enough sun for them.

So I simply

tore the baby tears  into pieces

and

 planted them amongst the rocks in 

one of my big planters.

They ended up to be the 

perfect finishing touch

I was hoping for.

The baby tears centerpiece

in the courtyard

 is thriving beautifully.

I am very happy with

not only it's growth

but the clean crisp lines of the arrangement.

This season

I am trying to streamline my decor

for a feeling of

calm luxury.

My wall of pots is also thriving.

This wall is an important one

as not only does it look beautiful

but it also helps create

a private courtyard  space

in what is actually part of our small suburban front yard.

The succulents are growing so well

I have begun

to cut stems of

and

 replant them elsewhere.

A few weeks ago

I began

transplanting succulents inside

to fill up the  urns

behind my couch.

This season

I am doing primarily all succulents inside.

I like the clean lines

and

 how

hopefully they will last 

the entire summer season.

Last year I began to  tuck

strawberry plants in my  outside containers

to see if I could get some edibles 

out of my 'pretty' pots.

They have done wonderfully

not only adding some lovely color

in my primarily all green and white plantings

but nothing beats

homegrown strawberries fresh from the garden!

Once I get a garden

fluffed, trimmed, planted and fed

it just takes

the daily watering 

from a chore

to a daily joy!

The front yard and courtyard 

are all up to speed.

Inside just needs

a couple additions

but the back …

needs some serious TLC

to bring it back to 

the luxurious

entertaining area

that I always love it to be

come summer.

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life
