why a garden is like Christmas…every.single.morning

before i knew how to garden, i had no idea that changes happen over night. blueberries…i thought they all turned blue at the same time…nope. i go to bed, in the morning, i see berries that went from green to blue is a gift i can’t stop eating. All that you see in the second…

what my garden gave me today

truthfully, the roses are from whole foods. i do have roses like the ones i’ve photographed, but the bush gives me about two a day. the strawberries? i picked from my gardens & ate them after taking their picture. the blue hydrangea is HUGE & will give me flowers for weeks & weeks.

God’s pink cotton candy

This is my very last blossom until next year. It has begun to fade to purple. I have about 15 Hydrangea’s around my house, but most are very young & their attempts at blossoms are a bit pitiful. Next thing I’m putting everywhere this fall is Peony! or if not in the fall then next…

My new baby pink…

Hydrangea. I found this hydrangea at leaf & Petal, on the clearance shelf, this spring. The flowers were starting to brown & it had lost most of it’s leaves. Putting it into the ground was a bit of a gamble, but I figured it was spring & maybe it would know what to do on…

I love this type of Hydrangea, I didn’t have on before I bought two of them for 3 dollars each!
