Seeds along the way ...

Garden Color

Just some simple pleasures during this "light gardening" year ...

• I have become extremely thankful for perennials this year. Being gone in May (thus, not planting much before I left for vacation, knowing it would be semi-on-its-own) and the high June temperatures seem to have left me here on July 1st without much planted for this year.
• However, I have enjoyed the cleaning projects I have accomplished and a bit of gardening long-range planning for the addition of more perennials. I have been noticing hardy and heat-tolerant plants: grasses, lantanas, herbs ...
• And I have enjoyed my new garden magazine and reading articles online, such as this one.
• Planning has become "enough" this gardening years because "My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there." (Charles Kettering). I shall enjoy my gardens for years to come and the plans and enjoyment of this year will indeed be part of that future! :-)
• Morning times have been delightful, seated and practicing chair-yoga positions ... enjoying the green lawn and colors of my from-seed and perennial garden plantings!
