Spring! Flowers! Monet! Enjoy!

in #gardening8 years ago

My garden associates and I work in many different gardens and we have nicknames for most of them. Yesterday we went to "Monet". We call it Monet because from far away it is really beautiful awash in many colors, a sight to behold!...BUT, close up, it is a dreaded mess!! It has overgrown shrubs, trees in bad places, hodge podge of plant material, weeeeeeds, bad soil...the owners NEVER water so it's hard to introduce new things.

Nonetheless, after our long winter's nap, we arrive at Monet and OH MY G*D!!!! Just gorgeous! Tons of spring bulbs we've been planting for several falls. So for your delight (and mine)...here is some Monet...(taken with my iphone 6+)

It's nice when everything turns out looking so nice. Spring is such a great time of year! I would have a hard time not tasting every one of those tulip petals, lol. Here's to getting enough rain this summer that it doesn't matter if the owners don't water! ; )

Beautiful flowers and nice gardening!

What beautiful flowers

Very nice. I wish we could get ours to look like that.

you can! First, plant bulbs int he fall. They need sunny spot. THen, in the spring after they've come up, don't cut the leaves off for 6 weeks or more after the bloom is spent so that they can absorb the energy they need for the bulb for the following growing season. Good luck :-)
