About a month ago, I said I was finished planting annuals for the season. Wrong. I just planted six more on Sunday morning.
I think seeing Monet’s garden at Giverny made me long for more color in our garden, when I returned from Paris 10 days ago.
Sunday morning, I planted what turned out to be six begonias in those two pots. I also planted the two hydgrangeas left over from Easter. This led to more weeding, edging and putting down a bag of pine fines on the bed with new begonias and hydrangeas. Now at least one bed in our garden looks tidy. It gives me momentum to do more, but I don’t feel pressed.
Another nice thing about seeing Monet’s garden in Giverny is that everything was not perfect there. It had a bit of wildness to it, as well as a lot of color. And a lot of color provided by annuals too.
