Well my trip was incredible!
I did not take any photos of plants or make a video of the rose garden. Bummer.
What I did do was meet an wonderful guy. Too bad I had to leave im in Portland :(
I went on a hike. This is the view

and I got a tattoo.

But, I cam home to a big mess in my garden.... thanks Dad. To be fair it isn't all his fault.... nothing in the garden died at least.
Dandelions have tried to take over my flower beds! and some other various weeds have invaded as well, Grrr...
and it has been so wet and cold my poor basil died.... It didn't even get a chance to be in the ground.

My Hops plants are going crazy and my zinnas are growing well. The Moss Roses and Pansies in the planters are amazing all is not lost. :) just the basil.

Oh well. I guess I have a ton of weeding to do. that will keep me busy while I am trying to find a job. Hopefully the Nursery will hire me for the summer. Fingers crossed.
