I'm pretty sure that this summer is going to be a good one for my outdoor flowers! I'm not exactly known for my green thumb. But this summer, I have adopted a new policy:
Don't bite off more than you can chew. So far it seems to be working! I didn't go nuts planting annuals, I didn't go nuts with the hanging baskets. Last year I started a perennial garden, and this year it's really looking nice. So far, pretty low-maintenance stuff...and I like it!
I was watering my flowers & garden this morning, and was just so happy that nothing appears to be dead or dying...in fact, things are actually
growing and...and...if I may be so bold...
proliferating out there!

| I planted this million bells myself...and it's actually filling in! yay! |
| Hopefully this isn't the best it looks all season - wish me luck! :) |
