I am a sucker for a pile of flowers! Looking through my catalogue of photos, probably something over a third to half of them are flowers. And I'm so in need of flowers that I just spent the last three weeks trashing my back so I will have flowers smothering my porch and areas around my home... because I have to have flowers.

Last year the deer ate everything but the nasturtiums so I planted more of those than I can count along with other stuff they don't like such as chives and lavender. Now it's just watering and a little weeding at times. And I an chill for a few days now that the planting is over.

How uplifting and beautiful. MontanaMama May 2023 #1
