A new yard rug and spring in the Ozarks....
Here I shared my new “yard rug”….after 3 years, I am happy to announce that the fescue sod is thriving!!!
It is still a little early to plant annuals, but the mulch is down and everything is ready! The “freeze date” in our area is April 11, but I usually wait until the end of April or first of May to plant just to be on the safe side. One year we actually had snow in May….a rarity, but it happened!
Truthfully, even if we don’t get a freeze, the cooler temps and tons of rain we have in April make it hard for tender annuals to thrive…I have found that waiting just a few weeks really helps!
I mentioned HERE that I pretty much stick to container plantings these days…I might stick a handful in the ground here and there, but most go in a container or a pot!
In the meantime, I have lots of perennials to carry me through the spring…hostas, vinca, daffodils, tulips, and of course the flower trees and bushes…azaleas, Bradfords and purple plums! They all make for a beautiful sympathy in spring!
During this time of “home quarantine” I am so grateful I put in the time and effort over the years to make my yard a park-like haven…it has been a God sent this year!
Enjoy these pictures from years past…
