garden talk
Ata writes: " Regarding my visit, I'll have to get back to you Monday or Tuesday, after I return from the downtown Travel Agent who will confirm the final dates of my trip. I was there last week and tentatively set my departure from Ljubljana sometime between the 26th and 30th of June and a return between 15th and 22nd of September. The final decision will be seat availability and lowest airline price.
By the way, I am looking forward to enjoying your garden and the morning sunshine I can enjoy and look forward to waking me in the mornings. Here I get only the afternoon sun, but am partly compensated with beautiful sunsets (sometimes).
Tell Ian that I too have a "Clematis" blooming on my balcony, right now there are 5 beautiful purple blossoms on it and 7 buds waiting to open. Of course, there is also a profusion of begonias, geraniums, petunias, alyssium, forget-me-nots, carnations, and fuscias making it a most pleasant and relaxing place for me to enjoy. I fear that the woman Marjeta from Kranj, who will be here to care for this miniature garden spot high in the air will not do a good job, as I have learned from experience last year and even in my recent short absence. "
Ata, your balcony garden sounds lovely! And we can envision it as well, now, since our visit. Yesterday we went to a nursery about 25miles away in order to take advantage of their lower prices. We already have rhodos and azaleas in full bloom, the tulips that we plants en masse last fall are going strong in the south perennial garden (so much that they're blocking sun from the perennials tryingto come up!). The rock cress and other spring bloomers are still around, and the allium are just starting to peek open. We also have a little peonie plant near the kitchen door which is starting to bloom. At the nursery yesterday we picked up a bunch of annuals with which I will stuff my pots, and we also found three huge hanging fuschias to put on the arbor that you and Ian built. The neighbors across the alley have put up some fencing of their own on their south border and have poured a concrete patio but are still planning to park their cars where the trees used to be. Grrr!! The fuschias will do a nice job of blocking that view. I have some ivy geranium to put in the house-front hanging boxes today, and Ian and I are having breakfast with some friends this morning. It's another gorgeous sunny morning; I think we're also going to check out a farmer's market.
This summer the project will be to pull out the hedge in front of the house and replace it with pretty plants and a wrought iron fence. We also want to replace the window well on the north side of the house; that will be an involved process and we can't wait to have Ata's help!
Happy mom's day, again!
