April Showers Brings May Weeds

Two days of bright sunshine and warm weather start off the week only to be followed by multiple days of rain.

Love the rain even though I know it means there will be a bundle of weeds to pull this weekend.

Back Home

It has been three years since I started sharing my gardening woes and successes with my Garden in the Rough blog friends. In that time I moved back to the land of black dirt and generous amounts of rain and high levels of humidity. Due to the demands of a new job and the desire to spend most of my free time with dad gardening has been limited to three flower beds, potted flowers, and a raspberry bed. The time, money and work put into the gardens last year paid off this year.

After attempts to grow luscious colorful gardens in the desert with limited success, I am shocked at the fast-growing perennials growing in our Iowa flower beds. I want to rush out and buy more plants. Patience is required as I must keep the gardens manageable due to all the projects I am working on. I love looking at the plants and blooms as I walk through the wet grass.
