"Nothing ever seems impossible in Spring, you know". -

SPRING PERENNIAL
I'm happy to report that these spring-blooming perennials introduced by Intrinsic Perennial Gardens, are looking fabulous here in the gardens at the shoppe in year two! They are planted in part sun/part shade under a black walnut tree. The grape-scented blooms will appear in May - I can't wait! 

If you are looking for an easier way to grow your own food, then this video may be the inspiration you need! I've been following Nicole Burke for several years and am always energized to get out and plant my kitchen garden beds after watching her. Let me know if you decide to give it a try!
