I am learning…or am I?

I know I seem to have disappeared for a bit, but I am still here!  Like many of you, Mother Nature has not EXAAAAAACTLY been cooperating with me and my time outdoors.  Figured you all might like an update on what I have killed recently.  Well, here is some proof that trial and error DOES work!!

I slipped Mother Nature a $20

I slipped Mother Nature a $20

I mean…I did that.  I really did that all by myself!  And, did you know that all of those plants (with the exception of the pink one in the middle…yes, I just refer to it as “the pink one” because I have not actually gotten THAT good to learn the real names.  Baby steps people.) were in my yard last year?  They all seemed to have died away, so I chopped them all back this spring, and voila!  There is no rhyme or reason to my plants…I pick out what I like and put a whole mish mash together and see what happens!  Once it all starts to grow and fill in, I really love the variety in texture and color.  Some I decide I don’t like, and those get ripped out and we just pretend they were never there.  Exiled.

Now, if I am going to be totally honest, I have to allow myself to be fully open with you.  You have heard me mention on more than one occasion that I want to put in a vegetable garden to play around with.  Here it is.

Vegetable garden...or graveyard?

See….the “old” me is still in there.  Don’t worry, there is a lot of assassination still to be done.  How is your yard faring these days?  Feel free to share your pictures with us on our Facebook page!
