Jackie and I decided to do a little garden spruce up before the big rain storm hits on Sunday. It was so much fun seeing all the wonderful color, greenery, and fragrant flowers, herbs, shrubs and trees. We really had to rein ourselves in not to overspend. My favorite flower that we purchased is a white hydrangea. We planted in the backyard cottage garden.
We also purchased some wonderful fragrant lavender and an orange tree rose (the stick looking thing in the blue pot : ) for the front of the house. We like to keep the front of the house fairly simple, since we spend more time in the backyard.
Basil was also on our list to purchase, to go along with the fourteen tomato plants we planted last weekend. We can't wait for all the fresh, yummy tomatoes, cucumbers, chives, parsley, dill, basil, oregano........ we anticipate our garden will produce. Hope you are able to enjoy your gardens this weekend, or someone else's garden or even Home and Garden Television : )
Take care and blessings to you all,
Jeanette and Jackie
I LOOOOVE white hydrangeas! 14 tomato plants? I know where I'm going if I ever get sprayed by a skunk.lol I have a brown thumb, plus I have NO yard at all so I hope you keep posting about yours so I can at least garden vicariously through you. If not, I'm going to have to go with option ~numero tres~ and watch the Home & Garden channel which is not what it used to be.
