No, not the prison yard. My yard. I decided to blog about this because between traveling, the weather, work, visitors, and life, it feels like forever since I’ve been able to dig in the dirt. As you know, gardening truly is ‘My Joy’, or as my father likes to say in Yiddish, “My Mechaieh”, or My Great Pleasure. So, inevitably I miss it.
Currently, my ’To-Do’ list looks something like this: trim the hedges, weed and populate the ‘pit’, plant my vegetable garden, muck up my compost pile (in other words, till the soil so I can use it), weed eat, find some colorful annuals to fill in the gaps, and whatever else comes to me as I peruse the yard. The GOOD news is that my roses are starting to bloom, my hostas are huge, and my wild indigo, which I thought died, came back more wild, and more indigo than ever. Go Go Indigo!
In other words, I love plants and if you can’t already tell, I love writing about it. Hopefully, sometime soon I will blog about something other than what is growing in my yard, but for now I can’t help it. Right now I just want to share. Natural born beauty.
Check out my Indigo and Roses.. (to the left) The Indigo was half the size last year… and its only May.
And how about that Columbine? Gorgeous, isn’t it? Nature’s Horn.
