My Garden Over Runneth!
I have not been out to the garden in about 3 weeks and now my garden has taken over! The biggest thing is the trumpeter honeysuckle vines. They have yet to bloom but they are growing like weeds. I am going to have to go out there and begin cutting it back. My peony is still going well but my delphinium has died and that was an expensive plant. I will try again with that one.
The slugs are taking over. Salt does the trick but they seem to be forever there. I cannot get rid of them all together. You would think the birds would eat a few but they do not. I have some lillies that are 7 feet tall. They are doing well. My butterfly bush has come back to life. Wow! What a little water can go. Everything else is doing well....the impatients, marigolds, parsley, catnip and all the others. No more salvia next year. Salvia is ok but just not very exciting. I might have to go out this afternoon and start. I have also noticed that the weeds have gotten into one section of the garden.
I am almost out of bird food. Seems like the more you put out the more they eat. In a week the feeder can be totally drained of seed. I have a new chime that I have to put out. A frog with tinkling chimes. It will be number 3. You cannot have enough garden chimes. The more chimes the more loved the garden. The neighbors--those lowly clogs that they are have actually complained when the wind was blowing or we had a storm about my chimes. Get a life people. The chimes are not coming down.
