I was recently very upfront about what a
disaster our yard and gardens are. Then I proceeded to claim I would get right on that weeding, and that of course turned out to be a lie. Then Mulch was gone for a weekend and I did all kinds of house projects and never stepped outside.
But this past Sunday, I finally got to work. But in the interest of full disclosure, I'm going to first post pictures from Spring, just to prove that I really did have things under control and even have a plan for the summer. Also, it will make the FAIL pictures to come just that much more... I don't think impressive is the right word, but you get the idea.

Charming, right? |

The little rose that could. Mulch was sure this guy wouldn't survive in the
(admittedly crappy) spot I put him in. |

Beautiful peonies. Came with the house. |

Climbing rose in the back. Planted it three years ago;
this is the first time it's really bloomed. Most beautiful
frangrance you can imagine. |

Spring was filled with such promise. |

Peppers, where are you now? |
Very pretty! Would you believe I don't have an azalea? Every day I wonder if I'll get a citation for non-compliance of the unwritten rules.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you haven't been audited and forced to plant some. Maybe I should make a citizen's arrest!
