Probably just as well, I think I have enough plants soon! The garden here is around 140 m2 in total, and in addition I have 'borrowed' an area outside my fence where I have placed pots and containers. The garden has a larger area with sun part of the day, but is a nice mix of shade and sun, with a bit of planning I can grow all sorts of plants. You are always welcome to visit and see for yourself :-)HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-10787868307416941822017-05-05T20:55:16.488-05:002017-05-05T20:55:16.488-05:00Yes, it does!

We've had quite a bit of rain, too, and a recent cooling. But our February was so mild that many of the plants had a head start. Now, as spring is slowly unfolding, it's actually a stunning show. Part of me wishes it was warmer, but part is happy to have so many different types of flowers blooming all at the same time. I would love to hear about your friend's woodland.Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-89996440806560270132017-05-05T20:51:02.646-05:002017-05-05T20:51:02.646-05:00Thank you, Helene.

Since I know what your previous garden looked like, I'm trying to imagine your new space. Is it sunnier or more mixed than the previous one?

I remember seeing your Asarums in previous years so two years ago I bought one Asarum lemonii - last year I had ONE flower, this year the plant is 4 times bigger, I must have a look tomorrow and see if it has started flowering, the flowers are kind of hiding under the leaves. I also have lots of arisaemas and trilliums and arum lilies - I should probably make a woodland post too if I can find the time, but I so enjoyed your photos - my kind of plants :-)HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-18047839196846978132017-04-30T21:08:55.138-05:002017-04-30T21:08:55.138-05:00Thank you, Deb.

It seems like I find something new every year. I love the Spring Beauties, and I wish I had a bigger patch of them. I might try to add some closer to the house, near spring-flowering bulbs.

True that we do remove invasives, but that's all we did for years--until recently when I started moving a few of the native plants into the areas where we've taken out invasive plants, so they wouldn't grow back. Definitely a lighter touch. It's not really a "garden"--more of a partially assisted native woodland.Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-19238144206365287412017-04-29T22:16:42.691-05:002017-04-29T22:16:42.691-05:00You are welcome.
