My Beautiful Plants
I love the spring/summer seasons with all the flowers, plants and flowering trees. Here in Delaware we have a lot of beautiful plants that the landscapers put in when we moved in. Among a few are the ornamental grasses, hostra, magnolia tree, crepe myrtle tree, mugho pine, a large holly tree and all kinds of greens. We use a lot of mulch so weeding is at a minimun . I have several containers with chickens and hens. I will get pictures of them to show you. I have them in an old tea pot, an old work boot and a strawberry pot. I don't have a lot of colored flowers and I miss them so we are going to make some changes for next year. We grow pots of herbs on the steps off the patio and I have a few potted plants on hangers. The Boston Fern shown has grown so well, its very full and plush. I don't know what I will do with it when the cold weather comes. They need constant misting and watering and take up a lot of area. We'll see

I used to save my boston ferns, i would take them in before the first frost and hang them in front of our bedroom windows, we now have a much smaller house and i can't do that......mine usually make it till october
ReplyDeleteI love the fern, I really miss having house plants, I don't have any here because we are not going to be here long enough....I know it sounds strange, but I get attached.
ReplyDeleteCould you not put that somewhere near your tub in the master bathroom??? It does look terrific and it's a shame if you have to let it die when cold weather comes around.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother had huge ferns like this, but her house was large and there was never a space issue, so they stayed indoors in front of a sunny window year round. They are one of my favorite memories from her house. Yours are lovely!
