My garden is so beautiful this time of year! I'm so excited! My rose is doing splendid. It has even more blooms than last year! We discovered the poor thing in our backyard when we bought the house. It was just a pathetic couple of vines tied to the skeleton frame of a carport in the middle of the yard. It was very odd. The rose produced one bloom that year where it was located. But it just was not happy in such a shady untended spot. And we were removing the skeleton, which left the rose, a climber, without support. So DH and I transplanted it to a nice sunny spot on the side of the house, which the rose apparently loves! It outgrew the first small trellis we had gotten for it, so this year we gifted it with a nice large metal one that is much better supported. It's just so beautiful, and it makes me happy to see it every time I walk by!
I'm really excited about our strawberries too. This is the first year we planted them, and already they have berries growing! I just can't wait to taste them.
My rosemary is just exploding! I planted it last year, and thankfully it wintered well. It's the first one I've manage to keep alive more than 6 months.
And my second planting of parsley is doing fantastic! The first planting was dug up by our crazy squirrels. UGH!! So I had to make pot nets to keep them out while the seeds sprouted. They've grown so much now, that I had to take the net off to keep them from growing through and getting stuck!
