I love gardening! I came back from Pete's Garden (wish there was a link to this place) with oodles of awesome plants. I mostly got herbs (silver-edged thyme and golden thyme and variegated sage) and container plants for my pots. Something about a garden nursery just thrills me to pieces! I don't know if it's the fact that it is finally warm outside (80 F today) or that all of these flowers will make my yard beautiful or that I just love digging in the dirt or that I love to watch things grow or that I can change my garden at my whim….*shrug*
What's the answer?
Anyone else have a strange affinity for gardening? The weird thing is that I'm not *great* at it – there are some people who just have a natural green-thumb. I do have a sense of the style of a garden and the color-scheme is pretty easy to figure out – the part that is hard for me is figuring out which flowers for which soils (ours is heavy clay) and watering needs. (we need a LOT in our drought-like summers)
So basically I have no cool, witty ending to this blog post. Just that man, I loves me some flowers.
I'm Bethany
I believe in the act of creativity in small everyday moments to make life more beautiful and meaningful..
I love to LOOK at flowers but I have not a green part in my body…LOL! So glad you enjoy it! 😉
“I loves me some flowers.”
Me too! I’ve been excited for the spring weather so we can see what this yard looks like in bloom. Nuthin’ much so far. *sigh* But that can be good, right? Fresh canvas, I guess.
Your climate and soil sound a lot like Kansas City. I’m totally impressed that you can get your garden to grow, Bethany. I’m hoping that Rochester is like Toronto — virtually foolproof conditions! 😉
