ReplyDeletelast year things went crazy and we didnt get things in order, so this year just needs more work
DeleteI see you have morning glories. I have found them to be very invasive. Do you have that problem or do they have new varieties that behave themselves?
ReplyDeletethe area i plant them barely sustains them so they never get invasive
ReplyDeleteThat is a busy garden. Of couse we are now buried in snow but I'm lucky if the grass gets cut.
ReplyDeleteWe are making up for a year of neglect last spring/summer
DeleteI think noseeums are a myth. My friend swore they were eating her alive in my yard. Meanwhile, I did not get one bite!
ReplyDeleteI get eaten alive by things I can't see all the time, especially during the springtime.
