all the plants I bought before I left are still not in the ground so the garden looks rather dreadful… the kids were busy while I was gone and although the grass has been cut a few times there are weeds everywhere… Jeff dug up some grass and dead plants in the front bed which was a great help… the wild roses have taken over the other front bed so that is going to take a fair bit of work, lol…
wild roses overrunning the front garden…
this feels particularly funny, because when we brought the little wild plant in from the lake it took about 4 years before it even had one blossom and hardly grew at all… now it is trying to take over the whole place…
- lobelia wanting to be planted, maybe tomorrow night it will make it into the flower boxes…
I wandered around the garden tonight and took a few pictures… it looks very sad…
columbine in the side garden, blooming while the rest is taken over with weeds…
my goal had been to come home and do some planting but it seemed more important for my body to eat and rest… maybe I will do some planting tomorrow…
bleeding hearts and ferns are happy…
I may need to go and buy some additional flowers to add to those I have and I did bring home a bunch of dahlias so on the weekend I can get those planted…
torenia, one of my favourites, in a hanging basket, a bit of water will make them a bit happier…
hoping that a few good hours of work with a couple of helpers will get it looking better…
