My Black Thumb

I started this blog ten years ago with this quote "Gardening is something I enjoy, but not something I am good at. So, in the vein of, it is all a learning experience, I have started this blog in the hopes that in, say, ten years or so, I may have actually learned something. :o)" Ten years later and I have learned so much. My gardens bring me so much joy. I still have much more to learn, but I no longer feel as though I have two black thumbs... so i guess this blog worked :)

Another year

Three years ago, I took a picture of my back porch garden on April 4th. The following year, I went in early April, as I often do, to look at what I had from a year ago, and lo and behold, I had taken a picture on the same day the previous year.

I now like to take photos on April 4th every year, so I can compare the growth. It is fun to compare the differences.

The dwarf pomegranate has really grown this year, and the middle two rose bushes have filled it quite a bit. I lost the diamianta and need to replace it with something else. But I have spent so much time working in the front beds, that this bed just hasn't gotten much attention.
