When I say that I am a gardening novice, I really, truly am. This Summer I’ve decided to start small, and hopefully grow into a gardener, even if I don’t happen to have a green thumb. I set my sites on 4 hanging baskets, a small Hosta garden, and a teeny tiny Veggie/Melon garden.

Only one and maybe half of a hanging basket are thriving. The other two have gone on to potted plant Heaven… I’m going to replant them with Inpatients, because it seems to be the only flower that I can grow (which is kinda funny). The Hosta are doing well, and the leftover Pansy that I over-purchased for the hanging baskets are doing great too. The veggie garden is another story…

I haven’t planted it yet… I’m still pulling weeds. Everyday Thade asks when can we plant our veggies, and I tell him just as soon as Mommy has gotten rid of all of the weeds. It is a slow going process and my thumbs are killing me 😉 I hope I’m not too late in the season, I swear we had frost last month 🙂

How are your Summer Gardening Projects going?
