This sweet little Fish-Pot above was bought by the hub and me a few years ago. We fell in love with this one and its twin and brought them home to live in our backyard. I planted a Caladium bulb in this one. I can already see the large leaves draping over the sides.
This is the twin that sits in front of the one I planted the Caladium in. The Ivy growing in it came from my mom's house. I brought home a few sprigs and now I have lots and lots of it!
The Hostas are coming up! We have planted a bunch of Hostas over the last several years. Each year they get bigger. We have several different varieties. I can't tell you what they are but they're different :)
This beautiful Clematis is a show-off when it blooms! I was excited to see all these buds getting ready to pop open. I'll post pics when it does. This was a gift from my s-i-l, JI.
And last but not least.... my grapevines. I love my grapevines! The hub bought me these probably 10 years ago. We were at Lowes one day and I saw these very small Concord Grapevines for sale. I was flooded with memories of my childhood and the grapevines next door to my Granma's house. I played for hours under the arbor and ate lots of sweet, delicious grapes when they ripened. I was so carried away with telling him all about my memories that he picked up two of the plants and bought them.
AND, he built me an arbor <3 How's that for romantic?
My grapevines are close to the deck, in fact they help to make the deck feel secluded and private. I'll post pics when it leaves out. If you look close you can see the tiny little grape buds that are already forming. Each year as I watch the life cycle of my grapevine I am reminded of this scripture...
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful." John 15: 1-2
How a visual does help, Thank You, Father.
