Getting Going Again

Well, after a hiatus of three years, I am back – posting on my blog. The gardens are more colorful than ever and this spring (now summer) we have had enough heat to get all the plants growing and blooming. Over the last year, I have evicted many of the invasive or ‘thug’ species that were waging botanical warfare in the garden. I still have trouble with the concept of leaving enough room for plants, but I am getting better at that. This is mostly a test blog to see if I can re-activate The Demented Gardener. And I really have to get outside and spread mulch in the perennial garden before a new generation of weeds sprouts and stages a covert assault on the Delphiniums!
