Growing up in Lubbock, gardening skills were unnecessary as, face it, what do we need to know about tumbleweeds and packed, barren dirt that turns into dust storms? :) Okay, maybe an over simplification, but I never could get into it growing up - and we were never in one place long enough to establish any gardens, even if I'd known what to do.<br /><br />But my son-in-law, who has a VERY green thumb, has taught me and spearheaded our recent project (which I hope to blog about eventually) and now I find myself asking questions like, "Would that grow in full sun in the front garden? What kind of tree is that and will it stay low or grow really tall? How often do I need to feed that?" <br /><br />I always felt inadequate in the UK where they call everything by its LATIN name - can't even try to compete or learn from THAT! :) It's nice, at the ripe young age of 52, to finally feel like I'm in the game! (although I have a LONG way to go - a little knowledge IS a dangerous thing!)<br /><br />Lovely, lovely garden. You must have some British blood running in your veins.Cheri (aka "The Mom Lady")https://www.blogger.com/profile/12447915936118039074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8532322712359180619.post-48578478711713763862009-05-30T10:34:39.187-05:002009-05-30T10:34:39.187-05:00A truly lovely garden.

Everything else is just teasing us with a little green. The iris and lilacs haven't even bloomed yet!SJhttp://estrogen-ocean.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
