Why to Garden

Yes, I'm sure that hiring a professional to do up a design with input from me to put this here and put that there, but there's a certain satisfaction when you get up in the morning, take a look out the window at your less-than-perfectly-maintained yard and see something like this.

After I've had breakfast and coffee, I can go out back and see different flowers almost every day. The other day it was white freesia. Now it's yellow freesia.

The other day it was the usual orange California Poppies.

Now we add a "Moonglow" California Poppy to the mix.

And I get to see two colors of Calendula almost every day.

   

The Nasturtiums keep coming up with different color combinations for me.

I think it's all worth a little effort in the garden.
