Primrose Lane

Many years ago when I had two 1 year olds,

Mr. Wonderful & I moved into our American

Homestead.  We bought our house on Sept. 1st

and through the winter months I started planning

the gardens.  At that time I was going for an

English Cottage Garden style but no matter how

hard I tried, an English garden just didn't want

to live in a Midwestern Prairie landscape...

 

That first summer I bought a flat of primroses

at Frank's.  (I miss Frank's Nursery & Crafts)

I planted and divided those primroses for many

years until I finally gave up on the cottage garden

in the front gardens and went with an evergreen

garden.

 

I wish I had transplanted them to the back gardens,

but at the time I just had so much work to do with

the landscaping that I didn't think of it. 

 

 

The back gardens are much more colorful, with a

butterfly garden and perennial beds.  So, today

since it was so nice I stopped by the garden center

and picked up a few primroses.  I think they will

go beneath the fairy roses in the pond garden.

 

The garden dreams are never ending...
