This is a picture of one of the flowerbeds in my backyard. As you can see there are many plants in bloom and much to be maintained and I enjoy every minute of it! Mostly I enjoy the view from all the windows at the rear of my home. Washing dishes isn’t such a chore when it means I get to spend the time enjoying this view.
This weekend saw me spending about 2 hours pulling weeds and planting 2 leftover petunias, the sunflower plants my daughter started from seed, a baby’s breath and fringed daisy. I also pruned back a couple plants and watered the new plantings along with the new-this-year slope flowerbed. All is looking good. I just have to start a list of plants I want to move in the autumn when they go dormant. As with any garden, there are always plants that need a more suitable location. These days I’m not adding plants as much as relocating them. The garden can always be improved this way and the plants usually end up happier.
Oh, and we finally had some drizzle last night after about a month without a single drop of rain.
