Aah, memories. My fuscias were so pretty last summer. Now they're just skeletons. I'm not posting current pictures of my dead looking gardens because that's just embarassing.
My least favorite time of year is right now- when everything looks dead. My normally immaculate (in the summer, at least) lawn was soggy and covered in moss, until my husband put moss killer on it. So now it's basically mud with a bit of green once in a while. My garden is barren. Anything I haven't cut back is dead looking. Even the winter plants are looking pretty scraggly and sad. That's just how it is at the end of winter in Western Washington. I don't have "seasonal depression" like some people around here get from lack of life and sunshine. But I am looking forward to spring and everything coming alive and green again.
So I was at the store today and passed a rack of summer bulbs. I was drawn to it and the pretty flower pictures. I ended up going a bit crazy in the garden section, buying bulbs, seeds, and plants- primroses, azaelas and winter heather with flowers on it! Now I have a lot of work to do to get it all in the ground.
