#myownbackyard

Best part about warmer weather - after a day in the yard just enjoying the smell of fresh cut grass, the warmth of the afternoon sun and the sound of the birds chirping away. Of course and ice cold beer just to add that cherry on top 🍺 * * * * * #springfeels #getoutside #myownbackyard #feelinggrateful #seatwithaview #wishihadaridingmower #almosttimetogarden https://www.instagram.com/p/CeHx68epgx4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So, yesterday these two clearance coleus jumped in my car at Lowe’s. 🤷🏼‍♀️ My hibiscus bloomed again. 🌺#backyardgarden #myownbackyard #containergardening #hibiscus #containergarden #coleus #flowerpower #gardenlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CSVPLppllVJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

My dahlia is looking amazing! I really need to get another one. #backyardgarden #myownbackyard #containergardening #backyardlife #dahlias #flowerpower #gardenlife #gardening #flowersofinstagram #mothernature https://www.instagram.com/p/CQCiIzoFBJZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Yesterday I added this dahlia to the container garden. I’m hoping dahlias treat me better than hydrangeas. 🤞🏻 Bonus! I got $5 off using the @meijerstores app. #myownbackyard #containergarden #newflowerwhodis #dahlia #backyardlife #flowerpower #prettythings #gardening https://www.instagram.com/p/CPy6paIlHzw/?utm_medium=tumblr

The backyard oasis is coming along nicely this year. Most of the plants that should come back did. Remind me, however, to never ever buy hydrangeas again. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I also lost a coreopsis and a coneflower. Added a couple of new plants, like the gorgeous hosta in the fifth picture. This year the metal pails on the fence only have portulaca because it did the best in them last year. So far, non of the cicadas have been in the backyard, but I’m sure I’m not going to get off scott free.🤞🏻 I still don’t really know what I’m doing as a gardener, but thank goodness Mother Nature does. #mygarden #myownbackyard #backyardlife #containergardening #gardening #backyardoasis #mothernature #hardyperennialsftw #flowerpower #haphazardgardener (at Montgomery, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPMlvduF3nI/?utm_medium=tumblr
