Honeysuckle
Today´s afternoon was spent for gardening..It had
been raining the past few days,
so I thought this would be the perfect time to
have dirty hands and plant a couple of new
shrubs...
Here, I´d like to share with you the small backyard of our row house with
all the plants we have...I have an apple tree, the conifer hedges, a tamarisk
tree, a rose bush, honeysuckle and many shrubs which
I honestly do not know what the names are.
I just knew them by colors of their flowers, LOL!
I´ve been trying to shape this shrub as topiary , the trunk is getting
thicker as it gets older.
Mind you, these 4 branches of forsythia that I cut a week ago have been
developing roots. Imagine, I just stuck these into the earth,
didn´t do anything and they simply thrive and grow and grow...

Tulips
Buxus
Hibiscus
Ternatas
And so , I planted a camelia and a peony. The peony is called
"Pfingstrosen"in german, because they would normally
flower when the Pentecost is nearing and that is sometime in June.

As some of you may have remembered , we have constructed the
flooring with tiles to replace the wooden slabs that got rotten
from the constant change of weather...
Now we are a happy with our decision to have the
tiled floor as the backyard is now almost maintenance free...
My apple tree... hopefully this would bear many fruits this season.
Spring onions - these were my cooking leftovers that I planted today in a pot. In a few days , new growth will dramatically be seen soon.
The shrubs of the peonies & lilies overshadow the salad greens.

When gardening, I seldom wear gloves...
I just need to feel the dirt in my hands and that makes me smile!
Hope you enjoy the pics.
Happy weekend!
