Someone asked me why I water the weeds around my home and I said, “Because many of the weeds I have watered, turned out to be wild flowers.”

Yes! I find that in my flower gardens if I let the ‘Weeds’ grow and flourish, the insects, birds are fed and I don’t have to worry about spraying for bugs or having to buy more next year! They come back on their own and bring the family ๐

Working on the house still. Guess that’s our new hobby. No internet until middle of August. Been having lots of good days, half in gardens and half in house. It’s neat watching hard work bear fruit, in and out! Going to see my older sister in Maine tomorrow. Yay!
Picked a bowl full of cucumbers from my garden today. What a thrill.
Just loving it all…๐โค

It was a sad moment and it was full and green, and many were on the cusp of blooming. They truly thought they were helping me out, and weโre all in the same page moving ahead

Weeds are just plants in the wrong place… and you’re right, most of them are wildflowers!
