Fortunately in the summer we have daylight by 4 am and the walls were bright white. I Grew fuchsia, hosts, ferns, jasmine, lilies, huge begonias, astilbe, acquilegia, clematis, an acer, mint,parsley and a huge basil. I had 4 hanging baskets too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01561833431193604067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-14544083495535566802018-04-29T11:59:06.927-04:002018-04-29T11:59:06.927-04:00Thank you, Antares...xThank you, Antares...xMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632520557553405790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-84758864915456977542018-04-29T11:58:53.065-04:002018-04-29T11:58:53.065-04:00:-) Thank you, Diane.:-) Thank you, Diane.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632520557553405790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-10186042969313049492018-04-29T11:58:33.607-04:002018-04-29T11:58:33.607-04:00Fire escape milkweed!

The transformation of Union Street over the last decade has been pretty wild. But it is beautiful. My milkweed seeds just came in the mail and my heart is just waiting for the time I will spend on my fire escape today to plant them. The best gardens are the unexpected ones.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05076521509497924601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-44902067076300289602018-04-26T10:01:04.618-04:002018-04-26T10:01:04.618-04:00Right now it's just snow drops and crocus here...Right now it's just snow drops and crocus here in Vermont...they are so very optimistic and courageous. I figure if they can carry on in the midst of snow squalls and chilly nights, so can I. Thank goodness for all the farmers, gardeners, crafters, poets, photographers, musicians and other kindred spirits here on the internet. How else would we hang on to our sanity these days?

Iget so much joy every morning when i walk around to see what's open today, and again in the evening when i check back to make sure nothing needs immediate attention, and on good days many more times during the day. But this is the best time of all ... watching the buds to see who will be next to open,and being surprised when something comes up that i had forgotten i planted. The tiny gardens in NYC gave me so much inspiration and hope. sigh.webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168174623602308906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-27155261459238311192018-04-26T04:24:17.984-04:002018-04-26T04:24:17.984-04:00I believe it could be Thalia too, after seeing som...I believe it could be Thalia too, after seeing some in a facebook gardening group. It is now on my wanted list. Beautifully written about gardens being a wall against the ugliness of life. I discovered your blog when I was having chemotherapy. You were still living in cobble hill then.i had a small concrete yard and wanted to make a garden but became very sick right after moving in. So I would look online for inspiration. Being a Gardener means to be hopeful and trusting in the future and this dreaming, reading and planning kept my spirits up and gave me something to focus on that wasn't cancer. Thank you for inspiring us, for making us think and for being part of your readers wall against life xx Amy LeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-44734980394271660182018-04-25T23:25:00.308-04:002018-04-25T23:25:00.308-04:00Guessing the daffodils are 'Thalia'.
