"Garden Song"
(by John Denver) ![Garden](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vHqcneziOGVzPYykl8qtn017H6NwZG2EDj9WsouvBH2RvhRyTQEXljB3k4oqCmUS08Vb28b22iHddVvbagTlZm3JK0L9zGOJrAzHYG5sPoqoYbzF4M1TpSiN4-SEfdPUIlbMJDKXoBwVWsx2bp2znG0X-h=s0-d)
I have crossed something else off my list!! It took the better part of two days {& I ended up completely exhausted, sunburnt, scratched up, mosquito-bitten & with sore muscles throughout my entire body!} but I have extended the garden across the back fence line!

Well, except for that spot between two of the sad little blueberry bushes!

Wouldn't that be the perfect spot for a gate to my dad's house? {I'm on the campaign to get him to buy the lot behind us. Am I crazy to leave that space? Well, I'm leaving it until I see a "Sold" sign!}
None of my new plants are really in bloom right now, but there will be plenty of color next year! I also have some accessorizing to do, or maybe I just need a little patience until Spring! For now, though, I'm on a limited budget. So, I waited until Houston Garden Center had most everything 70% off & bought 1 gallon plants that will get big later.

Like this measly little Esperanza in the corner:

{It should grow to be 6' tall & 4' wide!}
The idea is that eventually everything will fill in. I'll continue to add beautiful things, and one day it'll be a wild, colorful sanctuary. So far, the part of garden that I planted last year is looking pretty good!

{& Pepper likes it!}
Some plants didn't weather last year's snow or this year's summer too well, but I'm hoping to continue to nurture them back to beauty! I replaced a couple of them, and the flowers make me happy!

So, that's one more thing crossed off the list! I hope you're making time to do the things that you really want to do in life! Have a great weekend!
