Gardening-Always a Work in Progress

I have inherited my mother's "green thumb". Well sorta. Since she passed 5 years ago my want to garden has increased.
We rent so I cant have a huge garden like I want. We have a tiny patch along our walkway. It gets minimal sun. The landlord planted 3 lily plants (which I love) years ago. My MIL hates them. They stay because I take care of the garden :)

This was from a few years ago.

These were just taken this past Tuesday..... I have so much to do ! :)

This is one of the lilies with snow from monday

How it looks at about 1pm. too much shade.

My poor Hydrangea :( Last year it didn't bloom at all. I hope it does this year. Its a pretty blue.

As I was weeding my garden last weekend ( before the snow) I noticed I need more soil. I want to do something with those trellis things, even if I have to crochet something,( morning glories perhaps).

The garden definitely needs a new design layout.

I hope my MIL doesn't buy any tacky garden decorations this year. In the top picture you can see a few ducks on sticks. So corny. lol . I want to place a few bird feeders in the garden this year. I don't like birds but they remind me of my mom who loved them .

YOP year 5? Seriously?

I can't believe it's year 5 already....... this is my 3rd year participating. The last few days have been productive for me .I made a schedule for the next few months so I stay on track. I STARTED and FINISHED the Zero lovey that was part of my hook challenge. It will be given to my cousin Ryder ( I really like that name ) due in October. I played with the pictures a little in editing. Its something different. ****** I got on the C2C bandwagon and started a few of my own. It is so addicting!! I love this! I ran out of yarn for this one........ so I started this one. ( full skein not pictured) ****** Also, I "dusted off" the Boston Bruin Blanket squares and started sewing them together. Its a bit tricking as you can see.... Why do I punish myself.. hehe my full project list can be found here .
