Notes from The Daisy Chain - First Link

It has been a long time coming but here it is! I am a first time blogger and since I love to write I will start by saying I hope you will bear with me and my first few fumbling, bumbling rambles. The window I am sitting near is overlooking a bank of azaleas in salmon, red, white and lilac. The birds are singing in the distant wood. Now that it is May we can be fairly sure that summer is near. Yippee! However, with summer comes the weeding, digging and caring for my teeny tiny garden plot. It is what they call a "postage stamp" plot as it is only 20' by 40'. I was out in the garden one day last week cutting back some hosta "gigantica." They have grown so big over the last ten years that I just had to do something about them. Let me tell you it was quite difficult getting part of them out. It was worth it, though, as they are growing in very nicely. The Crepe Myrtle is just starting to leaf out and I can't wait until it blooms, although I waited all last summer and got just one (1) flower! Maybe I should have followed directions and fertilized it! I never said I was a Master Gardener!
