Green Thumbs

I will not waste one second of your time trying to convince you that I have green thumbs but with that said I will be the first to admit that when gardening season begins and I can start to visit garden centers around the area I am a very very happy girl :-) It´s almost as exciting as visiting food stores....almost!


First thing I had to do was de-weed. The big dogs have had access to the garden areas and peed on just about everything but weeds apparently aren´t as sensitive to the acidic pee as other plants because they seem to flourish after a winter of dog watering ;-) Never the less, with great help from my darling son, we managed to clear a patch of garden and replant with some of the goodies we bought at the garden center. Still loads to do in the garden but that is one of the great things about the season ahead is seeing how a garden takes shape. And no, the big doggies will not have access to the garden areas now, but it´s that little monkey of ours we need to watch...she seems to think she has access anywhere! 


Below you can see how some of the garden areas look as of today.....
I took out the rose bushes I have had in my garage over the winter...will be interesting to see if anything sprouts on these. I have never tried to keep plants in the garage through the winter...







We´re on our way to the hospital now and hopefully Julia will get some answers as to what can be done for her back. She´s been through more then any 16 year old should go through...so hopefully this will be the beginning of the end of all of these problems!


Have a lovely day my friends....until next time!
