Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've had a good week .We've had some lovely weather, but the pollen has been killer - it was 8000+ yesterday and 7000+ today. We had some rain last night, but it didn't do much to reduce the count.
My tulips have been very pretty. Here is a picture of the whole garden, about a week ago.
I was very disappointed that the grass we planted last year didn't survive the winter. I hate seeing all that dirt. We also need to paint our little shed. We have a long list of things to do!
The picture below shows how the garden looks today. The tulips are almost all past. I planted a few marigolds and impatience. I'm worried about the impatience because all of mine got a disease last year and died. But I'm going to try them again. I'll put some in pots so I can still have them if the in-ground ones don't survive.
I hope I can get out there tomorrow and do a little more planting. I'm begging for some grass, too:) I have plans in my head for the little shed, but I don't know if I can get it to "real life". I'm always impressed with people who can make happen just what they want! BTW, please don't look at that empty urn!!! I don't know why I do this every year. It sits there empty. Crazy. I'm going tomorrow to get some plants. I had a plan, but I can't find the plants, now I'll have to think of something else.
I hope you're having a happy Friday, thanks so much for stopping by!
Lovely area. I know how you feel about the grass. I have an area that did not grow in well last year with the heat and drought. Oh well it will fill in at some point.

I love the trail of tulips, so colourful and full of life. Too bad about the grass. Is it too shady in that spot? Hopefully you'll have success this year.
ReplyDeleteLeslie I had to say how I love that you are in such a nice private place with woods .. I would give anything to be away from my neighbors. I think that is why I fill my garden up as much as I can to shut them out ? LOL
ReplyDeleteYou may see things as bare or needing work .. but other gardeners look at what you have and think it is beautiful !
