We wanted to plant something in memory of Rita and we both love lilacs and they grow well here. When we were at Lowe’s the other day, walking through the garden center, we saw some very pretty lilacs, got one and Vince got it planted this week.
Today I plan to pull some weeds around some flowers and get that bed mulched and I’ll mulch the lilac too.
I had never seen an oak leaf hydrangea til I asked a friend what was blooming in her yard. That was probably two years ago and almost as soon as I found out what it was, I saw one at a local garden center, got it, planted it and this year it’s blooming.
I do have some traditional hydrangeas on the side of the house but they’re outside the fence and I rarely go in the front yard so unless Vince tells me they’re blooming, I miss them.
