I have this friend (dude knows who he is) who on more than one a hundred occasions has asked me “How can you possibly take any more pictures of your garden? Seriously, you have like hundreds of posts in only four years, haven’t you said/photographed it all?”
First off “friend”, and I use the term loosely, I have actually posted 868 times since February of 2010. And while some of the posts are of questionable mind, most are simply an observation of what is going on in my garden at that time. I introduce new plants to my garden each season/year, plants get more robust with age, take on a completely different look and feel when relocated within the garden, change dramatically through the seasons and often times die. And many times it is a combination of all of these things. That is why I can take hundreds of photographs in one session.
Here are some examples just from today.
This is my first witness to a Fothergilla blooming in my own garden as I just planted it last Fall:
I dig the bottlebrush like flowers and are even cooler up close:
I get all jonesed up seeing my Redtwig Dogwood leafing out, knowing we are transitioning from early to mid spring:
Before I know it, it will fill out completely and take its understated turn in the landscape:
The Amsonia are finally emerging from the ground and I frickin love how they look when doing so:
The next step is seeing the first buds forming:
Soon following will be a cacophony of buds:
Then the first bloom:
And finally full bloomage:
All of the foliage on the Astilbes have this cool red/brown/green/rust combo right now and it is fantastic:
Eventually it will settle in all green with hints of red stems:
Then the first buds appear:
And then boom, we’ve got serious blooms:
The photos tell the story and that alone, friend, should give you enough evidence as to why I am now easily completing my 869th post.
I don’t know about all your readers, but I LOVE all the photos. (And those fothergilla blooms smell fantastic, don’t they?)
and here I was thinking that you don’t post ENOUGH…
I’m with KimT, I LOVE the photos. Keep them coming.

John, I just stumbled upon your post as I was googling Chocolate Chip Bugleweed, which I just purchased. You are truly a gem. I wish I could get my husband to pull a weed. Just one weed. Just one. He has sub-zero interest in our garden. Your wife is such a lucky woman. Just.One.Weed.
