This time of year is so complex.
Everything is growing which either results in joy or dismay.
Dismay when I see the thistle plants in the {neglected} front flower bed are 4 ft tall.
Joy when the climbing rose just two feet away is chock full of blooms
and the warm sun releases their gorgeous fragrance.
Dismay when I see the forsythia bushes still in pots needing to be planted
and joy when I see that the recent mild temperatures
have allowed the violas to continue to thrive in the porch pots.
have allowed the violas to continue to thrive in the porch pots.
Dismay when I see the pomegranate tree still in a pot waiting to be planted
and then joy when I notice some flowering taking place.
Dismay that the Miss Kim lilac is so quickly finished blooming
but joy when I see the nearby grapevine is beginning to fruit.
Joy when I notice my beloved hydrangeas are beginning to flower alongside the dismaying
and empty vegetable gardens.
and empty vegetable gardens.
Joyfully breathing in the heady scent of the peonies
surrounded by a dismaying amount of weeds.
Yearning to go out to the garden and create beauty
but bound by unchangeable duties that prevent me……
as I said before……complex.

Your plants look beautiful. Gardening can be a big chore but your photos make it look worth the work.

p.s. Oh what is growing really well are the dandelions in our lawn!…I think our neighbours hate us!
Us too…… only thing coming up is yellow weeds.

There is nothing so relaxing as digging in the flower beds and puttering around the yard. I can hardly wait! Just think of all the weed pulling you can do after your trip! Heaven!
