Redding CA - Flowers for My Courtyard - Growing a Small Garden!

Real Estate Agent with The Address Realty BRE#01299346

Redding CA - Flowers in My Courtyard - Growing a Small Garden--We downsized last May to a beautiful little Frank Lloyd Wright home. We are loving it. I have a small Courtyard and I am gardening again and planning ever so carefully what will go in the garden.

Toni Weidman writes about her garden often and the butterflies that visit along with the Hummingbirds. I have the Hummies coming but became inspired by Toni's photos of butterflies to buy a Lantana plant to attract the butterflies. Toni also wrote about this plant recently and ergo my desire to put it in my garden. So here is a visit to my small courtyard.

We are currently in the process of selling our table and chairs....so that we can pull out our Chimanea to enjoy early and late evening fires. It's a bit cramped but we are making progress.

Here's our front door and our little Pumpkin I bought last weekend. It is a "Cindarella" Pumpkin, a French Heirloom variety (very good for cooking). Ginger, our Golden Retriever decided that it needed a companion and put a small gratefruit next to my Pumpkin. I love it.

Lantana Plant - Jeanean Gendron

Here is the Lantana plant that Toni Weidman inspired me to buy so that we attract butterflies to our garden. I had one spot left that will be perfect. I bought two plants. One lavendar and one that is pink and yellow. Yeah Butterflies!

Here are our Impatients that have had shade for most of the day. Still too hot for them here in Redding. Next year, I will have to think of something else to plant.

This is our built-in 1940 barbeque....cool hey? I use it for plants. These are succulents that one of my clients gave me when she moved away. I was afraid I would lose them but they are flourishing! Happy plants...we like happy plants.

This is the one spot where the Lantana plant will go. See the empty pot. It's a little crowded and there is our Pumpkin and the Ginger Gratefruit!

I just love the fact that Ginger brought me a Gratefruit to keep the Pumpkin company. Life is sweet!

Those are very seasonal and festive looking scenes, Jeanean!  I have noticed that butterflies seem to have a love for Lantanas.  Where every they grow, butterflies seem sure to follow.

Myrl, I am excited to add the Lantana plant to the garden. I have not gardened in a long time and I'm very excited about having a small garden to plant flowers and attract humingbirds and butterflies. Thanks for the visit.

You are rockin' that courtyard! You make an excellent point that the smaller the garden, the more carefully you must choose what gets a coveted spot. Beautiful area to relax, I'm sure you'll enjoy it for many years to come.

Hello Joetta, thanks for the visit to our courtyard. It is coming along. We sold the table and chairs yesterday and now it feels better. It was too crowded. It has been some years since I've had a garden and I am enjoying it. Thanks for inspiring me with your garden. Have a beautiful day!
