Flower and forest. My parents gave me this house but along with it came a lot of headaches. Partly, they stopped gardening about 13 years ago. Since then, the greenbriar has run rampant. Also, there is a lot of poison ivy. So, I’m doing quite a bit of cleanup. Plus, I want to get the vines off my azaleas before they open. My next-door-neighbor’s daffodils started blooming last Monday. My daffy’s aren’t open yet.
That t-shirt sounds familiar.
Thanks for the report.
The jonquils here in NW ga have shown themselves...but not their buds.
I can think of so many literary examples to encourage you in reclaiming your garden. The Secret Garden (of course) but also An Episode of Sparrows by Rumer Godden. Have you read these?
Be careful with that poision ivy! Our daffodils are up but no buds yet.... if this warm weather stays it won’t be long...
I’m sure your azaleas will thank you when you remove the vines. Gardening is good for the soul (IMHO)
