BEST BLOOMS EVER


 I think I pruned the Limelight Hydrangea just right.  The last image show what this gorgeous plant looked like in March after pruning.  I love the hints of pink that will become more pronounced as we enter Fall.

SUCCESS WITH NASTURTIUM SEEDS

I’m always hesitant when trying to grow annuals from seeds.  This year I had a success and a failure.  I planted a Hyacinth Vine at the base of my arbor.  I imagined it covering the arch with purple flowers.  Of the 50+ seeds I planted only two sprouted.  Very disappointing.

The nasturtiums were a great success.  The leaves are huge and I’m so excited to see the first flowers.  They’re a lovely peach color.  I planted them in one of my cement planters with some ferns and Creeping Jenny.  I have them in several pots around the yard but this one bloomed first.  I think it got just the right amount of sun.
