Garden

A favorite wildflower

May 10, 2009


We’re very lucky to have a woods full of wildflowers and I love walking around looking for them each year. They come back and it’s like seeing an old friend again. I adore the Mayapples and of course the trilliums, but I think my favorite is the marsh marigolds. They have such great foliage and cute little yellow flowers. You’d never suspect that when we get a good rain they are drowned by rushing water in our little creek. And within days they are happy and proud again.

The Impatient Gardener

Do you love gardening? Me too! I'm Erin and I garden in Southeastern Wisconsin, zone 5. The Impatient Gardener is all about real-life gardening: the good parts, the bad bits and even the funny stuff. It's part information, part inspiration and a little bit commiseration. Thanks for visiting.

Here's some more about me.

I did a lot of rather “involved” winter containers this year so this super simple, throw-it-there-and-call-it-good container is sort of refreshing in its simplicity. #wintercontainers #containgardening #gardening #holidayseason #simpleisbeautiful #theimpatientgardener
Not only did the veg garden get a cute holiday outfit, I also bought it a really nice present yesterday: a big order with a local nursery for a project I’m equal parts excited and nervous about. I love that this vegetable garden has pushed me to try things that are out of my comfort zone (like the stock tank pond). Keeps me on my toes!
I love my vegetable garden so much, and I think it’s beautiful even when there’s nothing growing in it. It’s just a simple garland and a Costco wreath but it’s so charming to me. This area makes a cameo on the video I put up on YouTube today. #veggarden #holidaydecorating #gardenarbor #garland #wreath #deckthehalls #theimpatientgardener
I fell in love with curly willow and fantail willow and used as much of it as I had for this container. Wired on a bunch of pine cones and filled in with greens and lights. Video one how it all came together up soon (tonight or tomorrow morning). #wintercontainers #containerdesign #holidaydecorating #outsidecheer #willow #theimpatientgardener
