Impatien(ce)s

How does your garden grow?

Right now, mine is growing great though it is still such a young garden I find myself impatient for a few years from now when the hydrangeas will be much larger and fuller and the clematis taller. Three to four years, the advertisement promised, and my Nikko blue hydrangeas will be five to six feet tall.

By the way, can you tell I’ve finally figured out how to work the digital camera I gave myself for my birthday last August? And I finally learned how to download the pictures onto my computer without having to call into the other room for husband help. Well, if I do it correctly next time I will have finally learned.

That’s what it’s like with a garden, too. Sometimes you need to call for some help, sometimes you learn to do it yourself and there is almost always something of which you want to take a picture.

So, I'll go take some pictures including one of my poor little Nikko blue hydrangea. It has a lot to do over the next four years. Like teaching me patience.
