I‘m happy to make an update on my gardening efforts and state that I haven’t killed anything yet! This is incredible news – seeing as how I have a reputation that is hard to live down within my immediate family. Sheesh! A girl gets lazy with her garden for ONE SEASON – – things croak off – – and the family will never let me forget it (read: last year I was too busy to tend to my garden and started it off with really good intentions – – but sadly most things died).
This year, even with the crappy weather we’re having, I’m happy to report that so far:
My Hydrangeas are doing well:
The Clemetis that I planted at the base of one of the trees is climbing and happy:
My various different roses are doing wonderfully:
And even….EVEN… my Rhododendron is beginning to bloom (YAY!):
This is all very good and encourging news and I am WELL on my way to losing the reputation of “Garden Slayer”.
Oooohhh aaaahh, all this crappy gloomy rainy weather really makes things beautiful, huh? Here’s hoping for a relatively wet year, maybe Mother Nature won’t kill your pretties with another drought. (see, I don’t blame you, who could spend THAT much time outside with a hose last year? Things got parched, things died, droughts happen.)
Lookin’ lovely – and great pics!
Hey – Happy Mother’s Day!
How pretty! I’m green with envy…haven’t gotten a thing in the ground this year so it’s going to be very drab around my house *chuckle* Happy Mother’s Day btw 🙂
Thank you, Leanne – – Happy Mother’s Day to you too!
It WAS really dry last year, wasn’t it????
Hmm… that MUST be why everything died!
I’m not a garden slayer – – I’m not! \:d/
Thank you, Bug! If ya happen to get things planted – – let’s see some pictures! 🙂
Your flowers are gorgeous!! Love the hydrangeas the most. Great shots!!
Thank you, Laura – I’m so thrilled to be keeping them living! \:d/
