It's A May Planting//Coleus, Begonias and Winter Creeper

Today I will take a break from other projects to pop in some much needed annuals. Coleus is the name of the game. Journey with me as I add several coleus and begonias to areas begging for some color.

“Too many irons in the fire”, that’s the life of a passionate gardener. You are an amazing man and gardener so cut yourself some slack. Your garden of paradise speaks wonders of amazement, talent and serenity for the soul. Take this to heart, someone once told me …..and this was a very experienced Gardner talking of over 20 years….. speaking to me as a rookie years ago and they said “a gardener without projects is a gardener without vision”. A garden should never end. Love your channel. Enjoy the holiday weekend and don’t work, relax and reflect.

I've been dying to see how your garden is coming along now that everything is waking up! 🤩 Thank you for sharing so much beauty!! That image @ 2:05 with that gorgeous tree just gave me all the feels! 😁🌺💕🌿 Just stunning. Those pots you've placed are super cool too. They look great even empty. Just architectural. Love your garden, your creativity, your talent for color and texture, you're an artist at heart whether you know it or not 🙂 Thank you for braving the trolls that are out there.. it can't be easy..

You have my enthusiasm about gardening! I wish we were neighbors! I live in Harvest AL, outside Huntsville and have been battling clay soil and unfortunately full HOT sun. Prior to moving here from the northeast I had lush shade gardens. It is definitely a different type of gardening; however if you were able to take a bare backyard and turn it into the Garden of Eden, then there is hope for me. Keep up the great work ❤

I've got plants to get in the ground, but we've been working on the veggie garden. Built an arbor with gates, fenced it, painting garden boxes, and arbor between rain drops. I planted many mosquitoe repellant plants throughout. It seems to help. My husband bought a mosquitoe fogger also.

To add to my comment below, without begonias and coleus, I would not have nearly the color in my garden . I depend heavily on coleus and begonias.

It is a very, very challenging area in which to garden......
