Every year, May 30 is Water A Flower Day. We all know I’m not really the gardening type, but I have been faithful this year about watering Aaron’s Garden, and so far, I haven’t killed anything. This is a record for me.
It takes two each of the watering can and the green watering pitcher shown here to water, either daily or every other day, depending on the heat and rain we get.
The New Guinea impatiens just lost their blossoms and are starting new ones, so there’s not much color right now, only a few hints of pink.
The dwarf morning glories in the green planter (called “Blue My Mind”) could probably use more sun, but they’re doing okay and consistently flowering, if not showing off.
The citronella is flourishing (I STILL get bitten by mosquitos), and the aloe on the bottom right is coming back from looking anemic and nearly dead. This makes me happy, as I received the various pieces of aloe in this garden from my friend Princess Patti many years ago! (I have a huge pot of aloe in the back yard from a former neighbor from when we lived at The Compound.)
That’s my contribution to this day. Wish me luck keeping it going on days to come!
I think we need a midsummer update!
I just posted one especially because you asked. Thanks!
