Spring Went Nuts!

We have had a lot of rain here this year. Usually in SoCal, we aren't use to wet weather, and we moan and complain. Believe me, I did my share of it! My garden, on the other hand, went totally nuts!! I never got a chance earlier in the year to dead head the roses, prune the rest of the garden and all the other maintenance "good" gardeners do each year. With all that said, below is what happens with rain and Mother Nature at work. I never had even had a chance to plant anything new this year!









Even my containers that sit on cement in my driveway went nuts! I've never had snapdragons come back, especially in a container. There is a front lawn at my house with actuall grass! It still gets mowed and the kids can play on it, you just can't see it in these pictures and believe me, it's not huge! I am always SO jealous of those of you that have all the land to have great gardens on. I have more of a postage stamp sized lot, but hey, it's home and thankfully I can still have a garden! Brande has promised as a Mother's Day gift she will help me gain a bit of control with my garden that went nuts!!
