it's a jungle out there
So I have decided that while I loved one of the many gardens on my property, and every flower and plant in it, that particular garden was too big and too hard to weed all the time. My yard is like a jungle. Everytime I mow the lawn, two days later it looks like nothing has been done. The weeds grow at alarming rates, so I have weedwacked the whole garden, saved the hastas and planted wildflower seeds. that takes care of that. Now, if I could just figure out what to do with my traveling rosebush that is threatening to take over the world, I would be happy. Roses are such strange plants to me. They are so fussy but yet with the right soil they get friggin huge. I have never seen a rosebush this big before. It is 5ft by 5ft and at least 4 feet tall. While my traveling rose is creeping over the retaining wall and getting very close to my car, the huge bush is just getting too big to keep in the garden it's in. I'm going to have to make a garden just for that bush. (it's killing the tiger lillies) My frogs are really happy that the lilly pads in my pond are flourishing. Some of the pads are as big as salad plates. The calla lillies are getting to be at least 3 feet tall before their blooms so I can imagine they will be friggin huge by summers end. I'm having fun bringing the gardens back to life, but man, what work!
