The joke around our house is that I like the idea of gardening more than I actually like getting my hands dirty. There may be some truth in that, but I'm really enjoying the process of learning to garden so far and am excited to see how things evolve in our yard.

Someday, I hope...

to use galvanized tubs for a pretty container garden on the patio

get some serious garden gloves

pot herbs in these antique inspired oil jars

have a wall of sweet smelling confederate jasmine

and have disk size hydrangeas to cut for display

Side note for readers in the Charlotte area.

We took a trip to Renfrow's Hardware in Matthews, NC last weekend. It was such a treat. Renferow's is an institution replete with old coca cola refrigerators, bails of cotton and chickens in the back near the greenhouse. I had so much fun poking around. This is a pick of just one of their seed displays. SO knowledgable and friendly too. Just look at this seed display! Would highly suggest a visit!!
