Barney's garden

urban garden


« Previous   Main  Next »

Our friend Barney has gone and turned himself into something of an urban gardener. He may even be set to win some sort of neighborhood beautification award (if they don't give him one, I'm going to). It turned out pretty good for all of his fretting - which continues daily - Will it rain today or do I have to water? If there was just a spot of sun right here, that would be good, I wish that tree limb would fall, If I had a gun, I'd shoot that squirrel etc. etc.

When he first put the flowers out, there were pansies in that center pot. Once it got hot, they died and it's taken me six weeks to convince him that he's not responsible for their death. He made me promise that if I wrote about it, I'd let everyone know to avoid buying the cheap dirt that's available at K-mart, (he's right; it was like buying bags of road dirt) so consider yourselves warned.

I think he's lucky to have that little bit of shade and in fact he's turned me on to coleus(sp?) For some reason I always thought they were pretty ugly but they're his favorites and they've done really well. Who knew?
