Flowers and Garden Coming Along
Posted by Bill under: outdoors .
Though the heat over the past week slowed down the grass growth, the seeds and plants I have planted are doing well. The hydrangea plant in front of the house now has nice, white blossoms and the wave petunies in the pots are growing like crazy. If anything, they are getting a bit long in plant and short in blossoms!
Still have not added more mulch to front area of house and I want to lay down the dirt so I can plant some grass to fill in the area and make it more presentable.
The morning glory and moon flower seeds are really yielding plants now, so I expect to have beautiful flowers covering the fence by July! I should have enough basil to supply all of Charlottesville and four of my five plants are really shooting up. I have already used some in chicken salad and some other dishes. Pepper plant, too, is growing, but I noticed last night that its leaves and some of the leaves on a few of the basil plants are getting eaten by bugs. Hopefully, my marigold flowers will blossom soon and chase the bugs away!
