It’s Spring!
Every spring since 2014, Scott has been replanting the two urns bracketing the main steps. The plant to the left is a vine. It dies back every winter but somehow grows back, and will soon spill over the urn. The plant to the right is a kinda bush. It has red leaves. It dies every winter. But, every fall, Scott takes a clipping of it, lets the clipping root out, and then plants this the following spring. So, the red bush pictured is actually the same bush from 2014. Amazing. Thank you, Scott!

We thank you too, Scott.
You have some awesome people surrounding you!
Ah, it’s the little things… 🙂
It’s always great seeing the earth come back to life in spring 🙂
It is great to see that you have people like Scott and Justin who want to contribute to the restoration of this wonderful house.
Wonderful! The same pretty plant from 2014!
I am happy to know that those red plants can root so well. I buy new ones every year. I love how full and tall they get. (Plus they kinda look like pot! – except for the color) I love to scandalize my neighbors!) This fall I will see if I can winter it over inside.
Scott, a real green thumb. Pots were lovely in 2014 and soon will grow to show off again. Plants are wonderful and add so much to our lives. I grew up surrounded by my Grandfather’s landscaping business of greenhouses and nursery. Plants were always rooted and wintered over in the green houses, hot beds, and in house. I loved when things came back to life in spring and seasonal flower pots became the main thing to sell. Of course, Grandfather’s beer joint right next door to greenhouses kept things interesting all year long for me as a child. Ha! I loved that time in my life.
Ive been an avid gardener since 98 when i moved into my home. Learned early on, perennials are the way to go. They mostly always come back, and continue to get bigger every year.
I really like that red vine. Ross, do you know (or anyone here) what its name is?? Love to hsve it in my garden.
