The Spot

I finally found a great spot for my grapevines. Finding this spot was truly difficult since some of my backyard doesn't get as much sunlight as other parts furing the spring and summer months. 

Another factor that I had to take into consideration is how large the vines will get, so I decided against planting the grape vines along the fence or building an arbor and decided that the perfect spot is along the deck. 

Here along the deck, the vines can stretch out and grow and climb along the deck. I also think this will bring some beauty to the deck.

Creativity Time

My daughter, Kennedy, also my gardening buddy just bought these two concord grape plants for us to plant and also bring out our design creativity---because I have no idea where I want to put them. She has no idea either, but hey, we're up for the challenge! 

Time to put my thinking cap on and find a new home for these grapes.

I'm a Bit Yellow

Did a little yard work on Saturday, came back inside and just happened to notice my boots. My grey boots and jeans have a splash of yellow added to them.  #atlgardener, #backyardgardener, #springhassprung

"All through the long winter, I dream of my garden on the first day of spring, I dig my fingers deep into the soft Earth. I can feel its energy, and my spirits soar."
