I have never been much of a gardener. Water the plans and be done with it. But since moving into this house, I feel like the plants are my pets. I know all of the plants in my yard. I water, prune, fertilize and truly get excited when they are doing well.
Either I am really lonely, and my plants have become my friends, or this is how gardeners feel.
I even catch myself talking to them..."Oh my, you look good! So many blooms!" or "Oh no, I forgot to water you, I'm sorry!"
Here are some photos of my children of nature...
My red roses - I need to buy a new trellis they are growing so quickly!
My climbing vine - I will show you the full plant when I install the new trellis.
My white roses - we have two plants that frame our french doors. I just planted the purple plants below. I am excited for them to grow larger.
We planted 4 Hopseed bushes to cover our fence. (I took this photo tonight)
Unrelated photo...my daughter and her friend, night swimming.
