A little something green in honor of St. Patrick’s Day
I planted a whole bunch of bulbs in the yard in late January, terrified that I’d missed the winter planting window, which is pretty darn short in San Diego.
But it looks like some of them are making it just fine. I have Dahlias along the back brick wall, Anemones around the magnolia tree, and along the long planter I’ve planted Ranunculus. I’ve also spread a ton of poppy seeds out in the bed with the Anemones and they’re taking off like gang busters. It will be time to thin and spread them around soon.
In a few weeks I’ll go shopping for roses to plant among the Ranunculus, and Hydrangeas to line along the house. I’m also toying with the idea of some Sweet Pea along the fence behind the roses. Then maybe come summer I’ll get to fill my house with fresh arrangements.
