Why Did You Wear That: How Does Your Garden Grow?

A few weeks ago, I wrote about how much I loved my new hobby– gardening. While at first, I hit a little rough patch (no pun intended), with a little help from my FMIL (future mother in law) I got my gorgeous little garden in check. Now that my buds have blossomed it’s all a matter of maintenance. Our wonderful gardener, Antonio (Yes, we have a gardener. No, he doesn’t look like he belongs on the cover of a Jaclyn Smith novel), comes twice a month to do the heavy lifting, but the rest of the time it’s up to me. So, every night (except for Tuesdays- that’s sprinkler day) I head outside after work with my trusty watering can and sprinkle my petals with water and lots of love. While my mother would argue that these are not “play clothes,” I am a grown woman and I can do what I want… Okay, actually, I change when I’m digging in the dirt. For a simple, spring sprinkle, however, this is just fine.
