The garden’s looking startling

Plants that aren't dead

See, they've got petals and leaves and everything!

 It never ceases to amaze me that things actually grow in my garden.

I certainly don’t have a green thumb. In fact, I even managed to kill a fake pot plant (left it in the sun too long, the glue dried out and the leaves all fell off).

However, rhododendrons, azaleas and roses seem to be immune to my plant killing abilities. Which is fortunate, because we have a lot of them in our garden. Strangely, the more stuff we pull out of the garden, the more plants we find. The white one in the photos is a new addition: it has suddenly just popped up over the past few weeks and the flowers suddenly appeared today.

    Maybe you’ve got a white and purple thumb.

    I rather think you need to reassess the non-greenthumb story Jillian…I cannot believe it looking at those pics.

    Please stop blaming Seymour for everything, take a little on your own shoulders, they are wider than poor Seymours…..LOL

    We’re talking about Seymour here, Ginger Ninja extraordinaire and terminally naught cat: the innocent wee beast who is currently stretched out on my desk and attempting to kick the keyboard out from under my hands …

    Don’t get a dog, your garden will not look like that anymore. Trust me lol.

    We did have a dog … he wasn’t too hard on the garden though. Apart from the sleeping on the hydrangea thing.
