Glorious Garden

Rate this Entry
Well, in my list of things to do during my summer vacation I skipped right to #8. I worked outside all day yesterday and got the whole east side weeded, cleaned up and turned over, ready for some annuals. I'm heading back out soon to do the west side.
In answer to an earlier question from Virgil, my garden is mostly perennials. Every year the hollyhocks seem to grow wherever they want. I have some this year that are already huge. In fact, one is covering my lavendar but I can't bear to cut it down. I can't wait to see what color they will be. I originally planted yellow and black. They're a different color each year.
My peonies have hundreds of buds and should be blooming soon.
I used to have a large vegetable garden but now I just make little specialty gardens like my Taste of Italy...roma tomatoes and herbs.
Grab a trowel and come dig in.

    There is something special about working a full day in one's garden, I feel your happiness. Now enjoy the fruits of your labour, grab a coffee and sniff that beautiful air that graces a fine garden!

    my peonies haven't bloomed at all this year. I'm thinking about moving them and some other flowers I have in the yard. I think skipping to #8 was the best idea. In fact, I think you should just stick with 8 for a while.

    Sounds nice Amp. I've been busy with other work and have not done any gardening yet this year.
