Thank you for visiting my blog! Thank you to all my followers and readers! Happy Holidays to all of you!
Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day is hosted on the 15th of each month by Carol at May Dream Gardens. Visit her blog to see what is in bloom this month in gardens from many climates and countries.
English primrose... I might have to add that to the "cottage garden" I've been slowly planning out!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I planted oregano as part of a small herb garden this year, not realizing that it would take over and basically become ground cover! Oops -- I might be moving it next year. :)
You are so lucky to still have all that greenery in your garden. I envy your herb garden. I can't wait to plant mine next year.
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays to you as well! Amazing how green things still are out there. Sort of the same here, but we've had just enough cold to put things to sleep and keep them that way.
ReplyDeleteSweet little epimedium.
ReplyDeleteThat is just bizarre. Do you maybe live in some Ohio outpost near the coast of Georgia? Incidentally, my wife grew up in Springfield OH.
ReplyDeleteThat was a bizarre December! The warmest that I remember. We live north of Akron, not close to Georgia.
