| This is one of my gardens, taken two days ago. |
What is going on here?

| I added this Forsythia to the yard five years ago. It only blooms on the very bottom. This year I got a tiny bit more up on the sides. Suggestions? Anyone? I love gardens, particularly English gardens.....all types. I'm fond of the messy, cottage gardens the kitchen herb gardens the formal gardens with hedges and topiaries. I wish that I could say I loved gardening. "Oh, it's so therapeutic, etc. etc." I've tried. Oh, yes I have. BK (before kids) we lived in an old Victorian house outside of Chicago. It had the best soil. Ever. Clematis and morning glories climbed the fences. There were peonies and lilacs and an herb garden. There were peach trees. I learned to can! I had bundles of herbs and lavender hanging upside down in my kitchen. That was a good yard.  Our back yard looked a lot like this! I haven't had a yard like that, since. No good soil. No clematis growing over the fence. {Although I do have Miss Kim lilacs and peonies.} Oh, you are thinking, Privet and Holly, you can amend the soil! You can add manure and other nutrients! Hmmm. I'm not loving that kind of gardening. This is what I'm dreaming of.... Me, holding a wooden trug, strolling through my cottage gardens, my formal rose garden, my herb garden, scissors in hand.  I'll stop and smell them, admire their beauty. I'll cut the prettiest flowers for bouquets and the most fragrant herbs for cooking. Perhaps I'll press some of the tiny ones into a book, to admire once winter holds us in her grip once more.  My Sweet Rose 1908 Yes, that would be therapeutic! Since there is no head gardener on this little plot of earth, except myself, I will grudgingly forge ahead. Luckily, inspiration for my garden dreams abound in Blog Land.  Check out the gardens in progress in my neighbor's yard at Sea Cottage. {The post she wrote last weekend....lovely!} Or, let Sarah-Jane Down the Lane take you on a magical garden tour of a gorgeous garden in England that she has visited over the years.  Time to gather my gardening tools. And to dream. In my garden there is a large place for sentiment. My garden of flowers is also my garden of thoughts and dreams. The thoughts grow as freely as the flowers, and the dreams are as beautiful. - Abram L. Urban |
