Hello my name is Joshua and I love to garden. Theres something you can't explain about having instant gratification with seeing your hard work bloom and excite you.

A little about myself. I am 25 and I love perennial/annuals that are big and in your face. I enjoy growing a lot of plants from seed and cuttings. I have been gardening for 3 years and have not stopped since. Once the gardening bug got me it didn't let go. I will be posting some pictures through out this year starting with spring.
Enjoy

I will go ahead and say growing foxglove from seeds was my crowning achievement in spring. I was absolutely in love with this flower in April. People should really grow this plant more often.

The pastel garden was in full bloom during spring.

Another wonderful plant I grew from seed was sweet rocket. It was so easy to sow in early spring and germination rate was high. It also blooms for a very long time. Which is good because I do not have that many spring flowering plants. I can honestly say my garden is a summer/fall garden.

It amazes me a tiny seed makes such beauty.

OHH and I almost forgot another first time sowing and blooming this year. This purple aquilegia was also another exciting flower and goal I can check off the list of growing.
