Garden bragging

lisa April 29th, 2003

You know my huge, giant hydrangea that I had to move last November because it was in the path of the new gas line? The one that I really hacked the hell out of? It’s alive! It’s totally busting out all along the trunk and branches with buds! I’m so stoked.

And you know my trilliums? The rare, protected wildflowers that I was so excited to find in my back yard last year? The ones I was sure had been covered by a pile of dirt and rocks from the basement that one of the workers made last fall? They live!!! White and red ones! A big ol’ clump of healthy, happy trilliums.

And my daffodils that I planted? They are gorgeous and have multiplied exactly the way they were meant to. And the tulips I planted? Are about to bloom! And all the other perennials I put in last year appear to be coming back from the dead exactly the way they are supposed to and I LOVE SPRING!

I just spent three hours out in my yard and I’m so damn proud of my garden I could burst. The best thing about gardening is this sense of accomplishment. Triumph! Success! I can’t wait til later this year when I pick my first carrots and cucumbers.
