Good at growing weeds

I don’t want to say it too loud, considering we still have plenty of weather on the horizon, but I think I might be able to claim a successful gardening adventure this year.

Like many, I have high hopes of having a beautiful, blooming garden filled with all the colors of summer, butterflies flitting around and birds dropping by for a rest, but unfortunately I’m on my third try to get herbs to grow in my kitchen window.

That hasn’t stopped me, however, from planting a ton of tulips last fall in hopes that something will come up.

I can proudly say I have two little shoots coming up where I planted!

My bulb auger arrived in the mail on Monday and the rest of the plants are, I’m sure, waiting somewhere to come home with me.

I am quite sure by July I shall have a plethora of lilies, poppies, daylilies and Teddy Bear sunflowers and I’ll be able to sit happily in my backyard, sipping lemonade.

Did I mention I’m really good at growing weeds?
