Our annual planting season has begun, and I am so excited to be adding loads of gorgeous color to our backyard gardens surrounding the patio. These gorgeous annuals are going to give us massive amounts of color while attracting hummingbirds and pollinators to the space throughout the entire growing season. It is such a fun time to be a gardener!

Zone 6a here, I saw a snake in my yard yesterday, it scared us both, well I scared it and it scared me. Anyway itโs only April, I thought I had at least another month before I had to be on snake watch ๐ฑ it only a garden snake, but I hate snakes! ๐ท๐๐
Look so sexy with that tool thing around your waist.
Good morning! I noticed the new (to me) drill. Is it heavier or harder to handle than the one in the original kit?
Good morning Jenny and fellow gardeners. I wish everyone has an enjoyable planting season.
Good morning! Everything is looking beautiful! I only have one issue personally. My finances are such that I am unable to buy that much to make a beautiful statement like that. I miss the days of buying flowers in flats for $8 and sometimes less. LOL guess I just told my age. Anyway realistically there are a lot of us on fixed incomes that can barely pay necessary bills. Just saying.๐. But on a positive note your place looks gorgeous. ๐๐๐
I hope I have not over filled my pots. I loved the rain last night. I did not get all my plants in pots but will today.
Itโs looking very pretty, Jenny. Lots of hard work. Thank you for sharing. ๐๐งก๐
Iโm wondering why you switched from Land and Sea compost to the Black Gold compost?
Love the Sun Star Pentas!
Hey, Jenni where did you get your beautiful pineapple water fountain
Looks gorgeous! Would love to see an update in a few weeks of this area! ๐ค
Thanks for inspiration to get outside and do some planting today. Also, i have had 1 type of tulip that come back really well for me in 7b. Double late negrita. It is the longest blooming as well.
Wow what an impact when you said this didnโt exist 3 years ago! What a spectacular young garden!
Hi Jenny, your excitement is contagious! I love it and can't wait to see all those beautiful plants fill in. Many blessings! ๐
The bug dance- dance of the South! Love it
I love how Brenna layed down in Johnnie and was watching Jenny work!
Good morning Jenny so happy you are sharing the planting with us know they are gonna look awesome
I love the pentas Jenny. Iโve planted them the last couple of years. โค
So. You're saying we northerners have an advantage over southern gardeners? ๐คญ๐ท
Can we just take a moment to appreciate that green ๐ wall of trees?
I'm excited to get annuals to plant. Until they're available, I picked up some violas yesterday and will plant up a container in my garage โ it's a rainy day. ๐
Jenny. Have you pruned your butterfly bushes yet? I'm in zone 8a and they still appear dormant from Winter. I'm 1hr south of you in Souf Cakilaki.
lol…I think we all do the bug dance…my glasses usually go flying lol
I love how Miss B escaped the heat and sun by laying in Johnnie!
I do the bug dance too
Your enthusiasm is precious!
Great job looking wonderful. Love the star ones gorgeous. Nice to see Megan. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.๐จ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ
Good Morning Jenny. So strange to think of tulips as annuals.
Good morning Jenny! I'm hoping to get started on my annuals next weekend, which means I'll need to make a trip over next week.
I canโt wait for your weekly post. It. Is so nice to have gardener in our zone seven. Also our local garden shop Carrieโs Proven Winner plants so I know they are going to be beautiful. You are my go to gardener!
Do you have any advice on rabbits eating the plants down to nubs. I have lost so many annuals that way. Also have voles. Lost perennials that way.
So pretty๐love pink ! The planter is great!
Agree with you, Jenny, pentas are wonderful! Great pollinator attractors.
Jenny did you have a few cups of coffee this morning lol we are in Northern California and feeling the same .
Hi ๐ Jenny ๐โค
You get so ecstatic and you make me happy. We went threw a bad storm flooding and winds 70 mph. We are still drying out. But have not gone out. But my plants went outside this morningo on my patio. Can not wait to get my back yard in SC. Just love all the plants and flowers you have. You 2 are a great couple to explain everything you can do in your yard. Thanks again.
Yes, a beautiful morning indeed and the excitement is real!
That was a translucent looking spider that ran up your sleeve and neck towards the back of your ear then to your jaw and you did manage to flick it off …. ๐๐ผ.
Beautiful gardens Jenny! ๐ชด
What sunscreens do yโall wear??? Looking for some good ones to try outโฆ got a big hat coming trying to be more safe gardening this year โฆ donโt need anymore sun damage on my face and body! Thanks ๐ค๐๐ค๐ค๐๐ค๐ค๐๐ค๐บ๐ธ๐ฟ๐ชด๐ณ๐๐๐ love white super petunias lol my favorite!!!!
Never ever do I see proven winners containers that full and lush no matter what garden center I go to.
Gorgeous, gorgeous! I love it.
I use Pentas and Angelonia in pots because they stand up to the heat and last until fall; good plants for your money. They did well in last yearโs high temps and drought. Those Cool Job gloves are my favoriteโฆdirt doesnโt get in your gloves and you can feel what your doing. โค๏ธ
No Land and Sea? Is that Laura , not both of you?
Jenny, I wish you would try to exhibit more excitement…your lack of enthusiasm just isn't motivating. ๐๐๐๐
I've really enjoyed watching the development of the gardens around your home and property.
I planted pentas last year after seeing you use them at the mailbox (I think). They were wonderful! I used them in several locations and they looked great even through the summer in Georgia (8a). Thanks for sharing, Jenny! โค xo
or one supertunia bubblegum in that basket! ๐ <3
Love your choices! Canโt wait to see it all fill in:)
I absolutely love Jenny's energy! Inspired me to get out into the garden today! โค

๐ thanks for all the info.
When proven winners does an improved version…does that mean the original is replaced or do we have to make sure it says improved so as not to get the origianl
Talking about tulips, I am in NC zone 8a. I canโt even get tulips to grow in pots, certainly not the ground. I over wintered mine in the fridge this year and still only half of them came up once I potted them up. No blooms yet.
