I don't have much of a garden to show you today. It needs a LOT of work. It is really overgrown. This is what it looked like when I left for church this morning.When I got home from church Frank (my gardener) was here and he had weeded so much. So VERY much. After I changed my clothes and ate lunch I got out there with him. I cut back some ivy and deadheaded one rose bush. He continued weeding and then cut the grass.
Frank is a good friend as well as a gardener so we ended up talking for quite awhile. He always asks me for a "woman's perspective" on life. I try to always give him good advice, but I can ALWAYS give him THIS woman's perspective. Ha, ha!
The yard still has quite a ways to go, but it is looking a lot better. A little here, a little there and it will get back to rights.

| Here are the hydrangea just about ready to bloom. Just a few more days and the bush will be full of flowers. |

| The coleus is beautiful! |

| My lilies are blooming! And without the weeds you can actually see them. |

Kathy, It seems ...no matter how big or small a yard, it take's work to keep it looking good. Yours looks nice. Love your hydranga and lilies. My lilies are getting pretty big, ready to bloom. Hope you have a great week. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteKathy, I wish my yard looked that good. If I can get out in between thunderstorms and heat I will try to get some pictures of my wild roses before they are all gone. I had cut them to the ground the last couple of years and this year we have a spectacular show of roses. I harvest the rose hips in the fall. :-) Not much has gotten done this year because of the amount of rain we have had here.
