Looking at all these plants and flowers that are very familiar to me I understand how similar the climate in Bucharest is to the one in Washington DC. I think it is the only similarity!
Any visit to such a greenhouse store is extremely pleasant but also very painful on the wallet. Very hard not to buy something... sometimes so ephemeral or fragile.
I'm sure you have a wonderful time in this shop, first, and then in your garden. Or in your garden first... and then in this shop, you know better.
Springtime life is beautiful!
...this is my life and I love it.
The best thing that can happen in life!
Happy gardening, Denise!
The climate is more and more alike each season, isn't it? I cannot get over how both of us no longer have a real winter, just teasers every now and then. This was such a painful year for the wallet. I thought last year was, so I was definitely surprised again this year! The short duration is sometimes hard to justify for me.
I did have a wonderful time, you are right, I had to do a weeding and cleaning, moving things around before I dared add anything more to the garden. I have gone to the nursery first at times and that is almost always a fail because I don't know what I really need and only get what I want. That is not the right way, but, I loved what I got. LOL Life is so beautiful at this time of year.
Honestly, every season has its merits.
Life is good, and I appreciate it every day. Thank you so much for your thoughts and words, Dan! @bluemoon
I hope you did well at your appointment this week. I've been thinking about you.
#MarketFriday loves you!
Don’t jinx us! …….. 6 months later……. Record setting blizzards and it’s only December 🤯🥶
Haha! I haven't seen a blizzard since 2017! :)
True for me too, @dswigle! I felt like this year was going to be really bad for me and my family and so far it has come true. Thankfully, some problems are starting to resolve or are not as bad as they seemed.
That's what I do every spring. I clean, I amend, I complete. I'm lucky that my yard is very small and so the effort is smaller... but my strength is smaller too. What's really nice is that it ends up nice and nice around the house.
I did a comment a few days ago where I wrote about how the doctor's appointments went. You didn't see it, rightly so, you are so busy and get hundreds of messages. If you want, you can read it Here.
I did see the comment, but not read it yet as I was catching up. I can't believe I didn't pass it again. I was up until 2;45AM last night catching up. I thought I did, but, I missed you. I will go read it as I would have commented if I read it. Thanks for dropping it again for me, Dan!
Smaller is better! I had 32/33 Hectares or 80 acres at one time, it was for the kids to run free, but glad I no longer have it! I find 1 hectare is plenty! Too much sometimes! :)
