Promises

21 years ago

I was reading over my garden list from last year. I was bound and determined to start keeping a gardening journal and wanted to start with last year's list of plants that had made it through the Summer heat or those that made it into my personal favorites!

I am happy that so far this year, I have kept 2 of my promises - I am keeping a journal (though sporadic...), and I have totally refrained from purchasing ANY PETUNIAS, since they don't work for me (the heat just makes them ugly).

Any of you keeping your gardening promises?

My main promise is always that this year, I'll do a much better job of keeping the beds weeded than I did last year.

It's really my least favorite thing to do, but I think I have done better this year. Still sometimes, I'll walk past a patch of weeds and say "I'll get to those tomorrow".

My promise was that I would NOT maintain a pot ghetto. I would not buy any plants unless I had the time to plant them and a place to put them. I would not submit to the temptation of gorgeous colorful blooms shouting "take me home!"

I haven't kept my promise. But I'm a happy gardener!

Well my new promise (for next year I guess) is to not buy things for areas or beds that I haven't even started yet! I am always seeing things that I want for future projects and buying them, so therefore adding to my "pot ghetto" Thank you Twinkle for that clever name for my mess on the side of my house.
