The garden is shaping up
Well, I finally managed to tidy up my garden and my arms have the scratches all over them to prove it!
Every rose I have has been pruned so now there are no more dead twigs standing up, visible over the new growth and blooms.
The garden looks so much better!
Chris and I went out yesterday afternoon and purchased 5 new roses, two clematis vines, three passion flower vines, a hibiscus, a blue Hydrangea and two fuchsia plants. Oh we got some more annuals as well. I guess that with all those vines, our existing cannas and jasmine plants that our garden will have a tropical feel to it this year.
My back ached each evening after I was done working in the garden but luckily felt better each morning. I thought I was going to get away without having any sore muscles but my legs are a bit stiff today. At least it doesn’t seem like I’ll be as achy as I was a month ago when I over did it in the garden!
Now I just need to get all the new plants planted – perennials and annuals, and get some mulch down too.
Does the work ever end?
