Frustrating garden news ...
Hello everyone,
Well I'm pretty new at this whole gardening thing, and was pretty excited at the prospect of learning all about different flowers, shrubs, and so on. So this morning I bring in the tip of a "plant" growing in my garden only to find out from my boss that they are lupins! I could cry... Obviously they were permitted to grow like crazy, as they are growing everywhere in the garden and you can see the remnants of last years growth. One of the bunches has about a 1 foot radius. The lady we bought the house from said that the garden was fully developed. Of course, she also told us that the lawnmower and BBQ they left worked and that there were no leaks in the house and that she only left useful things in the garage... So what I thought was a beautiful developed garden is actually a weed-invested gravel pit. What am I supposed to do? I guess my future holds a lot of intensive digging in order to get rid of them and a lot of money spent on new plants to fill in the garden. It would look pretty foolish if left bare... A discouraged new gardener, Katherine |
