Well, maybe I'm not.
I don't think I did much gardening last summer and I don't know why. Covid? I don't think Covid was loitering around in my garden, so it couldn't have been that.
Anyway, this year I decided that my so-called perennial garden should actually look like one and I've been wandering around in it, trying to identify what I've planted in the past. I have lots of mystery plants.
Anyone know what this is? Anyone? I sure don't. I found lots of loose labels scattered around, but I couldn't match them to any plants, so I still have lots of puzzles to either solve or ignore.
It's clearly a blueberry plant, although I didn't realize it until I saw these little beginnings of blueberries. I knew that I had planted one in the past, and here it is! Surprise-I thought the deer had eaten it.
Here is an existing rose plant. I told you I was a good gardener.
I had lots of peony plants that did nothing this year and I think it's from lack of sun so we will move them. These poor, bedraggled peonies. (Sideways because ...Blogger, and it will only allow me to have text in the center now.)
And, bonus! If you've ever wondered why a Tulip Poplar tree is called that, here is one of the flowers that fall in the spring. Very much like a tulip.
We went to a garden show two weekends ago for inspiration and we did see some pretty gardens, but this was my favorite find. There was no For Sale sign on it, so it can't be mine, but I love it. Beautifully restored, better restored than my garden is so far.
