Until recently, if my garden failed, it was a secret known only to me, my husband and our closest neighbors. The 2011 growing season seemed to be off to a glorious start and held great promise for its best year yet. Then I get this wild idea to share my garden with others via the World Wide Web... WHAT ON EARTH WAS I THINKING? All I can say is that the newness of spring brings with it a bounty of both HOPE and ignorance... and that can be a dangerous combination.
Older photo: This is basically how they looked before vacation... |
Today, in an effort to save them from whatever has attacked them with such vengeance, we drastically pruned the Manhattans (Euonymus kiautschovicus). If you happen to recognize the particular evil, even though the photo quality is less than desired, feel free to offer up any advice and knowledge on the subject.
ON A LIGHTER NOTE:
I was pleased to find a couple surprise blooms on one of my wisteria vines today. If I get to experience that more than once this year it will be awesome! I also found six Japanese Beetles munching away at the leaves of the wisteria so I plucked them off and am seriously thinking about buying stock in Sevin dust and insecticides.
If you need me... check the pest control aisle of Home Depot! Until then...
Happy gardening y'all.
