Rain will make your garden grow. I don’t know about knocking on doors of strangers. Back when I was a kid, I wouldn’t have thought anything about it, but it’s a different world now.
I had some nice rose bushes, but I think the hard winter hurt them, and they have been sickly. Hubby decided that a wild petunia that came up in the bed was really pretty.
I just found out he has been harvesting the seeds, and immediately replanting them. Now the roses are totally surrounded by these petunias that are about 18” tall and have kinda tiny pretty flowers.
Not at all what I would want right in front of the house, just like his project to move all the Iris and Tall lilies from my backyard patio to line the driveway with. Too messy looking from the road.
He put blueberry bushes in the backyard patio garden, which is not so bad, but then He decided to let some wild passion flowers grow, and try to cultivate more of them. They are about 4 or 5 feet tall. Have really different flowers, but not so pretty when not in bloom.
Oh well, whatever makes him happy.LOL
My hubby has been helping me with gardening. We have had a rocky marriage for many years — finally we are getting to the sweet stage. I have really enjoyed sharing this learning experience with him and he’s enjoying it too. It’s brought us closer together. This is like tending a marriage garden — a lot of hard work, a lot of missteps, some things won’t work, but if we are lucky many lovely things will take root.
