So glad to find this thread! I LOVE to garden!!! On Wednesday, I ate my first home-grown cucumber of the season. I planted 5 "bush" cucs in containers and the plants are covered in cucs. YUMMYYYY! I have allowed myself one each day since. I slice it up, pour some white vinegar over, salt/pepper. YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
I also have cherry toms growing as well as regular toms. I have lots of baby toms - probally will be ready in a week or 2. These plants are the healthiest I have ever grown. Just beautiful. Totally thriving!!!
I also love flowers!! My garden is in full bloom. May and June are certainly the best in my garden. I have a big arbor, or pergola if you will, that is covered in confederate jasmine (white). It smells so wonderful and is absolutely gorgeous. Clematis vines are on all 4 corners so they mingle with the jasmine. I also have a fence that supports a carolina jasmine (yellow). I have beautiful daylilies blooming and my knockout roses certainly put on a show. I have some asters in bloom. They have gone a bit crazy but they are pretty. The lantana is just starting to bloom. I have bought numerous plants that I haven't put in yet. That's what I plan to do this weekend. The plants are sitting patiently in my carport for now. I found the most beautiful hydragena last weekend. I can't wait to find the perfect spot for it. I have alot of hostas and they are always a favorite of mine too.
I have coleus, dragon wing begonias, portaluca, daylily, scaveloa, petunias and some pentas to plant. There are some other odds and ends out there too. Whenever I'm out running errands, I can resist stopping in my favorite plant places. I always come home with something to add to the garden! My husband says I'm an addict. He may be right. I look at it like this. If I'm going to be addicted to something then why not PLANTS!!!!! What fun!!!!!!!
Plus, he's one to talk. He likes to garden as much as I do! Haha!!!
