My 5 year old grandson
asked recently me how I know so much about plants and I told him it was because
I observe them. Of course, he then asked what observe meant and I told him that
I watch them grow and that helps me learn about them.
I had never been
interested in gardening until I moved into my new house in 2007. I had an acre
of land that had been disturbed by all the construction. The first year I
bought 20 bags of soil for $1.00 a bag and built a strawberry garden and planted
a dozen tulips near my front steps. I didn't get any strawberries and had to
wait until next spring to see the tulips. The rest of that summer I raked, and
raked, and raked. The next year I
bought a tandem load of topsoil and planted vegetables and a few perennials.
From then on I have been "gardening" and have learned a lot from observations and friends who have been gardening a long time.
Today's photos were taken
a couple of days ago and show a lillium, peony, and red currants. I have
uploaded more to my Blog this morning where you see that I am going to have
a bumper crop of black and red currants.
Feel free to share with family and friends.

Glad to see some of your garden. I have extensive plantings - dwarf lupin just in bloom, Azaleas/Rhodos fading some, Leopard's Bane still going strong. Enjoyed your pictures. Beware of Lady's Mantle... invasive.
You are right about lady;s mantle - it is everywhere and has become a weed!!
