38 - hydrangeas



This probably looks like nothing but it’s one of 6 new hydrangea bushes.  I learned from a friend the local Soil and Water Conservation Department had native barefoot bushes and plants they practically give away in the spring.  And to my delight when I read the list of available plants hydrangea bushes of two varieties were on the list.  They also had lilac bushes so I ordered some of each.  I finally got them planted today I am hopeful that they will make it a few of the bushes seemed a bit dry.  I wish now I had bought enough to line our back fences, but if they do well I can get more next year.

Our garden


So far our garden is NOT going well.  We transplanted our tomatoes, peppers, squash and peas.  And currently all the peas were snatched up by rabbits.  All the squash got killed by a late frost.  And two of my Pepper plants thea stepped on.  
We still have lots of seedlings to transplant but this does not make me excited to have lost so many plants already.  I am planning to start a few more squash plantsin egg cartons soon.  And i have been adding organic plant food to the soil with hopes I can turn it around.  Wish us luck.
