grow a beautiful garden

I cordoned off the back corner of my yard..coincidentally the one with the most sunlight, and began digging in compost, lime and peat moss. I was 8 months preggo at the time, so it were no easy task..lol
Long story short: campanulas wouldn’t even start from seed, grew a beautiful catmint that was DEVOURED by the neighborhood Tom, grew a lovely lavender from seed that is still thriving and lovely smelling, grew some cosmos, asters and cockscomb that went absolutely crazy happy in my garden, killed the false flax, my ajuga weed went berserko and is STILL spreading, lambs ears look happy, predicting the death of the heuchera this winter but the columbines are flourishing…oh yeah..and my climbing Don Juan rosebush looks great!! Also expecting some pretty foxgloves next year by the look of the rosettes…
Ya gotta take the good with the bad when gardening…and I’m listing this as a successful year!!

March is the month for beginning those tough to grow perennials indoors…I’ve started researching a few that I’d like to incorporate in the garden this coming year: gaura, astilbe, campanula….
Looking at pictures of flowers in full bloom helps chase the winter blahs away!! The snow and ice won’t be here forever!! Yay!
