I recently started my new job...full time social worker for a hospice agency in Green Bay. Since then, my poor flower beds have been placed on the back-burner. Fortunately, I was able to get a lot of work done on them before starting the job, so now I just have to weed occasionally. Thought I'd update you all on whats been blooming :)
Bee Balm
Coreopsis...it gets bigger each year! Pretty soon, the Rhododendron will be totally covered up!

So, I've been trying for two years to get poppies started. Finally, this year, I threw some SEEDS in the ground, held my breath, and watched them grow! They're small this year, but I know next year they will fill out. I was really suprised at how finicky the seedlings were...too much water=not happy...not enough=not happy. They're so pretty.
Sorry but I have no idea who that little bug is! Try asking them to stop eating your plants and move on to something not in your garden! I got ants to leave my house that way!
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations on your new job! They are lucky to have you!

Now I know the secret to successful flowers...start a new job! Congratulations on the job. Sounds like important work you do. Bee Balm always looks so pretty to me. Makes me wonder why I don't have any of it. Can't help you with the bug on your mums, but he sure is making a mess of the plant, isn't he? Welcome back to blogging.
