I come from a long line of Kansas farmers, who are no doubt laughing beyond the grave as they shake their heads at my flower garden.
Hey! I planted the daffodil bulbs in December and they are popping up on schedule. AND I have spent 2 weekends hacking weeds out of the California soil, which really isn’t soil at all, just dirty gravel broken up with rocks.
I was tired and achy and succumbed to temptation from a mail-order catalog that promised “quick and easy” beautiful flower gardens. I ordered these organic roll out strips filled with seeds and followed the instructions (except for the part that told me to remove all the rocks from the flower bed – which could never happen).
Wah-Lah! This is the before photo of my beautiful flower garden. (Note the timely daffodil’s growing in the center) I just need to keep it damp for 2 weeks and the seeds will germinate. Unfortunately, it looks ridiculous now.
It was forecast to rain yesterday, so I did not water the precious strips. Dang! By the time I get home they may have dried out. Luckily I get home around 2:30pm, so maybe not all is lost.
I’ll know in a couple of weeks if I blew 20 bucks or not 😉
