I'm going to put my feet up and watch a few romantic movies and possibly weather permitted, get some work done in the garden. We went to Home Depot last night. I bought some bicycle hangers for my baskets which I'll take a picture of once they are up. I was flower happy and wanted it all, so many pretty plants out this time of year.
One thing that stood out to me was a lemon tree. Sadly, I would never be able to plant it in the ground and have to keep it in a pot, dragging it in and out every season and on top of that de-bug it. (no fun) This season I'll dream of retiring in a lemon tree climate and enjoy the strawberry baskets. What we did pick up yesterday, were some new lavender plants. The ones I planted last fall didn't make it through our harsh winter. I'm hoping planting them earlier this year will give them a chance to get cozy and want to stay. I would love to have lavender running all the way up the walk to the house but with the Ottawa climate I'm pretty sure this is a dream unless you are a master gardener or an English one like the lady we met last night. *chuckle*
I've been watching the Chelsea flower show this week, it makes you garden happy.
Simple this year is best. Happy Friday!
