bloom.

you may recall that one of my new goals

is to blossom into a little garden gal.

i get much inspiration from one of my dear friends, debbie, & her fab garden.

{read more about the little miss garden goddess here}

i took my first little baby step & potted some pretties for the front steps.

i know, i know. this is so simple. anyone can do it.

but i wanted to gain some confidence before i 

hit the ground running planting.

so, i visited my most fave little garden shop, bloom, to pick out my goods.

i decided that a monochromatic yellow assortment would be perfect.

it would pop against our black & white bungalow of a home.

and not to mention, yellow is the it color right now.

i picked out several different variations of ivy.

i love the combo of green hues & leaf shapes.

picked a few begonias & marigolds.

along with some bright, vibrant snapdragons.

dad gave me some old pots. and he gave me the really good ones with lots of love & age.

i got my gloves on. oh, and a cute yellow gardening outfit.

and got to work potting my new little plants.

i always love working with the number three.

so three pots is was. 

{can you overcrowd a pot?!}

don't the snapdragons look glorious next to that ivy?

and i just adore the sweet baby petals of a begonia bud.

this was a quick and easy little project that has brought much happiness to our little home.

i just love driving home everyday and pulling up to this view.

i can hardly wait to get my hands dirty tomorrow.

i have two studly men that have promised to help me build a raised herb garden.

 start a few veggies. and plant my very first rose bush. 

yahoo!

a happy, happy home.

{oh, and please excuse the dirty, dirty awnings. 

the pollen has taken a huge toll on my at-one-time-white stripes. 

i am counting down the minutes till spring cleaning week in t minus 9 days}

so, i need some tips from all my gardener girls out there.

what veggies, flowers, herbs are your fave to grow?
