The Second Week Of April In The Garden

Okay kids, I've got more plant pictures for ya. I told you I can hardly keep up with posting them this time of year.

I bought this euphorbia plant a couple years ago because The Dad always pointed them out in other yards and said he liked them.  The flowers (bracts?) on this one are makin' me a believer.  Pretty cool.

I love all the fern fronds unfurling.

This one is a sword fern that's knee-deep in Sweet Woodruff.

The kids begged to go out front and play, so I decided it was a good excuse to get a few pics of the parking strip.

I got a few more of right outside the fence.

It's starting to show a little more color.

Back up in yard, on the south side of the house, the hops is growin' like a weed.  

I dug it out of the ground last year and stuck it in a pot 'cause it's naughty.

Here are a few more of that side.

This strip is planted with two Clematis, Solomon's Seal, Lady Ferns, Hostas, the potted Hops, a hardy upright Fuchsia, Saxifrage, a naughty Campanula, Wood Hyacinth and Lady's Mantle. 

Check out the escape artists in the background.

They're not allowed out front without an adult.

So there's a few more yard pics.

I got some really good photos of the kiddos too, but I'll save them for another post.

Yes, I actually take pictures of my children on occasion, not just food and plants.

Although, they may be pictures of kids next to plants.  :o)
