I spent 3.5 hrs yesterday getting the #HangingGardenofHarwood ready for spring, which included moving everything away from the walls and doing a thorough cleaning. Pruned a bunch of things, and did an inventory of plants that didn't make it through January’s brutal freeze.

When the golden hour highlights the #dianthus Fire Witch and shows just who hasn't been keeping up with #deadheading!

Long ago I planted 6 iris “Lion’s Mane” but only 2 have surfaced this year. They're popping with the mini-heat wave we’re having in Vancouver right now!

This columbine is new to our balcony and is not shy, even with our cold spring.

I've been learning how to create a container garden with a new book by Harriet Rycroft.

It covers what to grow, how to cultivate and offers suggestions of plant combinations.

It has lovely photos by Andrew Maybury.

Who loves the new friend of my bonsai??

Jasmine

I hadn’t pruned the winter #jasmine for a few years, so it was definitely time to take it back to its form. It will bush out again really quickly! First pic is from its full bloom glory in early January.
