Scary Gardening (Friday 13th)
I recently decided to plant additional seeds in my front yard to enhance its appearance. Unfortunately, many of the plants from last year did not return, leaving me with several bare spots that needed attention. To fill these gaps, I sowed more sunflower seeds along with a variety of other seeds. I like to think of my garden as a "chaos garden" since I can hardly remember all the different plants I’ve included. The excitement of watching them grow is something I truly look forward to!
As summer approaches, I found myself feeling a bit anxious to finalize my plantings. Time seems to be slipping away quickly, and I want to make sure everything is in place before the warmer weather fully arrives. On a positive note, some of the canna plants from last year are beginning to re-emerge, promising a colorful display in August.
In addition to planting, I also took the opportunity to reposition the badminton net to the center of the yard. I hadn’t realized how skewed it was until I moved it! To add a unique touch, I decided to allow the grass to grow long beneath the net. I'm curious to see how this will look as it could create an interesting contrast with the neatly trimmed areas of the yard. Overall, I am eager for the garden to flourish and for summer to bring its vibrant beauty.
