Over the past few years, I’ve really developed a love for working in the garden. But this year, I grew lazy. It was too hot and we weren’t gonna spend the cash on our water bill. But, the hard work I put into the past few years paid off this year, as my roses, lantana, and hybiscus flourished, even in the drought.
So, I’ve been quite proud of my green thumb, despite my laziness this summer.
One thing that I’m really proud of though, has been the fact that I can grow things I didn’t plant. Check this out…I’m growing corn.
I didn’t plant corn–yet it’s growing. I’m a damn fine gardener. Damn fine.

We grew mushrooms from the fungi that was in the mulch we purchased…added bonus I guess. We’re all afraid to touch them though!!!

LOL! Corn?
Great pics of the flowers. They’re beautiful! I had no idea you could grow Hibiscus in Oxford. I’ve always throught of them as tropicals. They’re one of my favorite flowers!

Maria, yes hibiscus flourishes here. It takes little to no work to get it to grow. It’s one of my favorites, too.
Robyn, we grew quite a few mushrooms, too. They’re fun to stomp on. 🙂
