My Garden(s) 2015 #1 At Grandma North’s

I took on so much this year. I think being overwhelmed with the garden may be an annual tradition at this point—but I love gardening!! I may try to restrain myself more next year—maybe. Some bits have been kept pretty tidy, watered and weeded with loving diligence. Other bits are positively wild with weeds—expect to see weeds in these posts. I also doubt I’ll cover everything I’ve grown.

These are most of the things I planted at Grandma’s.

I love these double petunias with the candy stripes.

I planted so many snapdragons this year. The variety of colors, and shading within the flowers, are so beautiful.

These purple petunias smell nice and sweet. :)

I’ve been calling it “The Year of the Flower”.
