jasmine, how sweet thou art


Ah, it is jasmine season around these parts and oh how amazing that is.  There is so much in our garden that I am grateful for that is ours by inheritance.  Plants and ideas that were passed down from previous owners, small and large things that continue to delight and astound me almost 4 years after we bought this house.  One of those things is the exactly perfect placement of jasmine plants on our western fence that separates our house from the neighbor. 

It's perfect on so many levels but here are a few: when the breeze blows in from the west (generally the only direction that it blows in from) we are gifted the sent of jasmine right into our open dining room window and then into the house, the jasmine seems to be at its headiest bloom right before the oranges bloom so we get to have several months of sweet smelling loveliness coming into our just opened spring windows, and finally, as the plants are on a fence that runs north/south, much of the bloom ends up on our neighbors side, thus making her happy to have a plant that we allow to run extremely wild encroach on her yard (win win!). 

Welcome spring, welcome.
