POTD "Fiddleheads"


Ferns just love it here on Whidbey Island. I successfully transplanted a few last year and they are even happier this year. Oh! And thanks to my neighbor Dick, now I know how to prune them and keep them looking great! 

I remember it was quite an adjustment gardening in Spain! I attempted to plant a bunch of marigolds in my garden, only to stand watering them every night and still end up with brown scortched flowers. After a year there, I conceded and planted a bunch of cacti. They thrived and I just adored them. It too, was an adjustment gardening here: very damp and dark much of the year, and the gardens in the front of my house see pretty much NO sun. I learned my lesson in Spain, and when choosing plants here I zoned in on shade-lovers.

So, the gardens are still works in progress (aren't they always?) but I'll post some more pictures soon. 

I just love my fiddleheads.
