Gardening
I learned how to farm and grow vegetables from my Dad.
But I never knew how to grow flowers until I lived in England. When I moved to Kansas, years later I met and married a man who happen to own his own Landscaping Company. And he likes to garden also. So together we have our little garden out back and an another lot just waiting to be filled. I also have a vegetable garden which is not shown here.
Hope you enjoy our garden.

Rain
Posted on April 27, 2009 at 1:15pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Rain, Rain, Rain!! Seemed like it wouldn't stop. 5 inches later, it looks like it might rain again. Although we really needed the moisture, it doesn't allow me to get out in the garden.
We took out our houseplants yesterday so they got a good drenching. Maybe once the sun comes out we will finally start seeing many blooms starting. Our late frosts and snow has slowed down what we are used to having blooming by now.
That's Kansas!!

My hubby got out in the garden today to do a lot of weeding especially under our River Birch trees which we are afraid we may have to cut down. He's tried several things to get them to be healthy and green up right, but they are looking sick and we may have to go ahead and cut them down.
We have so many weeds this year compared to others. It's taking us weeks to try and catch up and now here comes more rain. So I guess we will be pulling weeds for quite a while. LOL.

- Oh no, I picked the pictures of the one year we got nice looking grass. Ours is patchy and brown half the time also. Very hard in South Kansas to not get parched grass. We are lucky that we are on the one side of town where we don't have complete sand for our dirt. We have some, makes it nice for the moles to get through easily. Thanks for sharing about your dirt!! It's a great idea.

Sarah J said… - Your gardens are gorgeous! And thank you for the compliment, but I actually cheated. : ) My "dirt" is mushroom manure that I spread every couple of years. In our clayish soil is does a really great job of adding nutrients and breaking up the clods.
How in the world did you get your grass to look that nice? lol. Ours is completely patchy and brown half the time.
