Well! It has been a tough year for gardening!! I was late (very late!) on all my spring planting because we had a very wet/cool spring this year. Then in July we had a horrible heat wave which really took a toll. Not to mention that the babies I babysat last year turned into little monster toddlers this year, and there went my reliable nap time that I used to get out and do chores in the garden! So I'm afraid my flowers have been very unspectacular this year. Believe me, no one is more disappointed than me!
But, here are some pictures of the garden in its peak, just so I can say I had a little bit of success.
That big fluffy green plant? Is actually a weed. I started off the year thinking it was a perennial of some sort. As soon as I realized it was actually a weed, it had buds on it. So I kept it around to see if it ended up being anything "pretty." The flowers are actually tiny and white. But since it's about the healthiest thing in my garden, I let it live.
Thank goodness for good old reliable day lilies!
Things will be better next year for sure!! For one thing, I've got a new job now. Instead of babysitting 50 hours a week, I got a job working 3 evenings a week at a hospital down the road. I hope it makes things a little easier here at home. We will see!
Love,
Mama
