My favorite time of the year is in early spring! I have a tradition every year since 2015 of going to Annie's Annuals with my best friend. We make a day of it and is so much fun for the gardener and Flower Floozie that I truly am.
The middle of March my husband and I were in Sacramento to see a concert at the Safe Credit Union Center for the Performing Arts. We had arrived just a little early and decided to walk around the block till the venue opened.
Each year the blossoms in Solano County seem to be more bountiful. But this year we are being treated to the most beautiful and bountiful showing of all.
This was my Master Gardener student project one year ago. The goal was to populate a shady, sloped corner in our backyard where nothing survived for long. Very close by, are 2 towering redwood trees belonging to our neighbors.
