I have finally got my back yard somewhat to my liking… after working on it for 2 Spring seasons.

Yellow, red and white roses line the fence… as well as those rare orange colored rose plants… I was lucky enough to find one day… placed on one side in the flower bed… next to the garage.

Tomatoes and herbs nestle closely together on a beautiful brown wrought iron plant stand…with ample shelves… and my Meyer lemon tree is green and lush.

I planted a beautiful wistera… in honor of my youngest daughter’s 16th birthday… and a new honeysuckle vine was planted along the fence this Spring. All of the other shrubs and evergreens… planted last year… are healthy and doing very well.

I am pleased.

Like any person who loves to garden… I am already making plans what to plant next Spring… although I won’t need much…as my yard is looking full… yet simple… and beautiful now… but who knows?… a special plant or a new variety of rose… will tug at my heart… and long to find a home in my ever growing and nurturing garden.

I find such peace and inner calm… working in my garden… I can’t even imagine my daily life…not having the Earth to tend to… water and weed. My garden has truly become my close friend and constant companion.

I am grateful… and my cup is full.

May your garden grow
Victoria
