Let's be a realist, I am not the greatest gardener.
In my dreams I am retired and living in Key West with a convertible, plenty of books to read, lots of great wine to drink and the perfect little garden to work in every day. But today I am a frazzled housewife with four kids, a "station wagon", cheap wine and a yard full of weeds. Last year I found an awesome 5 ft grapevine tree that someone had thrown out on McDowell Street. I shoved it in my car and drove home slowly with the back open. Yesterday I finally found the perfect place for it in the yard and planted a beautiful climbing mandevilla that my mother in law gave me for Easter.
I cannot wait to see it grow! Happy Spring!
