My husband and I have a pair of Clematis growing on a new arbor off our back deck. My husband scored on a new arbor at Home Depot when they were having a fantastic sale. It was a $100 arbor for $20
! Wow. He put it together so it could replace the one that fell apart this last winter. The Clematis clearly love this new arbor, as you can see (my husband took these photos). The one on the right, we actually thought was white, not pink. We were thrilled to see how beautiful it is, since the plant had never been vigorous. Now, you can see how robust it has become with vibrant blooms that we have never seen before. We just k
eep looking at both of them, amazed at their beauty and size. It has been a joy to nurture the plants and trees around our home. Our garden is growing by leaps and bounds. We will soon have tomatoes and cucumbers. Our spring weather has been interesting, so say the least (unusually unpredictable and violent), but the plants have been loving the high humidity and moisture accompanied by intermittant periods of sun. Currently, it's cloudy and cool, but tomorrow is supposed to have some sunshine. That will give them something to grow about! We have noticed that more people have put in gardens, this spring. No doubt, this is due in large part to the economy as well as the "growing" desire to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. We have grown a garden virtually every year, and look forward to the exceptional taste that comes from food freshly grown and picked right outside our door. We never seem to grow enough peppers, though. We love salsa and we cook with lots of green peppers and despite our best planning, we have yet to have enough. We always have lots of extra fruits and veggies to share with out neighbors and co-workers, though. What a blessing.
