For the longest time I was convinced I had no ability to keep a plant alive unless it was made out of plastic. When I was living in my townhome in Colorado, my visiting teacher was so kind and brought me a beautiful potted plant AND a watering can to bring some color and warmth to my porch. In less than a week it was dried out and dead and I was so embarrassed that it was long gone by the time she visited again. While we lived in Morton Grove, I made attempts to grow many different types of flowers and bushes with minimal success. Determined to overcome this terrible weakness, I continued to do research on gardening and I think I may have finally turned a corner!
Our landscaping is most certainly still a work in progress, but the good news is I'm making progress and absolutely loving the successes!
The kids, birds, and squirrels especially loved these vibrant sunflowers.
These two-toned dahlias made my heart so happy this summer...now if only I can figure out how to successfully store their tubers over the winter...
