Outdoor Projects: Number One is the Deck

change my routine.
Every year I go to the nursery and select two lovely
boston ferns to hang on either side of our doors on the deck.
The shade factor that dominates this outdoor space
eliminates any lovely flowering baskets

I rather like the effect of the green...
anyway....
this year they did not order any boston ferns
so
the asparagus fern was the next logical choice......
no big deal

I realize that....
but you know how it is, when sometimes you have this plan
and
of course it is so easy
that

only one little glitch
throws you completely off track...

maybe that means my work stress level is too high right now???
so....
given that they were still within my budget of twenty dollars
I made the leap.
And I am lovin' it!!
Now if the weather holds on maybe I can paint the muskoka chairs???

I love the asparagus ferns! They can tolerate so much more sun and heat than the boston ferns, and I love the looks of them, too. I have both the asparagus and boston, but have a really hard time with the boston because I have no shade either.
ReplyDeleteI think you made a great choice and your deck looks great!
I am happy to finally get some summer-like weather that I can start working our deck! Project 2 will take me to the ground level!
ReplyDeleteI love asparagus ferns. Great choice!
ReplyDeleteI think the asparagus ferns are just as pretty! Who knows, you may end up liking them more than the Boston ferns & choose the asparagus ferns every year instead.
ReplyDeleteThe asparagus ferns look very pretty and 'airy'. Good choice. Your deck so lovely with the adirondack chairs. Enjoy! Pamela
