As some of you know, my Mom took on the time consuming job of becoming my "gardener" when we moved into our house in 2001. I am not by any means a GREEN THUMB. And now that she is living in Atlanta I know that she worries about the status of my yard - especially the flower beds surrounding my house. So in order to put her worries to rest I would like to share a few pictures so she (and the rest of the online community, for that matter) can see how well I've been doing since their departure earlier this year.
I have been sure to water each of the plants on a fairly regular basis, and with the exception of one holly, they are all thriving. I have also mananged (with the help of my father-in-law and the "plant book" at the hardware) to treat one of my older holly bushes for a fungus! As my mother directed me, I went and purchased the biggest bottle of Round-Up I could find. So I have included a picture of my dying weeds, that way my mother can see that not only can I buy Round-Up but I can also use it.
Mom- I neglected to photograph my gardenia earlier this month when it was blooming. I am waiting for the second round of blooms to appear and then I will try to remember to post a picture. It is very pretty! I also apologize for not getting a picture of the day lilies in the daytime. It really is a lot prettier in the morning.
I hope you enjoy!
