Why Jess's Garden


As I think about it now, I chose the name because I garden to create a space that I want to share with my family.
This blog has now evovled to be a discussion about how I'm attempting to create a personal and physical home for my family.
Creating a garden is a key part of that process, but it is not the only part, so I feel the different parts of this blog are all congruent to the same goal.

Green Thumb Sunday

This is my first Green Thumb Sunday blog, I have been thinking all week about what I would use for the photo. I was thinking about a zucchini flower, or maybe one of my fuschias. But when I was wandering around my garden, I found this uncurling fern frond and I thought it looked so beautiful. I love that my ferns and doing better and what a wonderful way to start my green thumb sunday. I know the photo is not great, but it has got me inspired to read my camera instruction booklet more carefully, so I can do a better job next week.

It is a great shot! I haven't seen fern fronds like this since leaving Florida. My mother was a great lover of ferns in all varieties. I haven't had much luck with them here in GA yet!

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have a pleasant Sunday!

Oh welcome to the group!

Ah ferns! What beautiful and ancient plants. I really should try to get me some ferns for the shady part of my garden.
That's a lovely pic!
