I think pink is just a colour I love : )<br />I was just over to your place to explain what I do about selective pruning to keep plants a little more well behaved ... I think you will understand once you read what I wrote .. I hope it helps !CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-12873662838230219762015-07-05T21:25:56.503-04:002015-07-05T21:25:56.503-04:00I have a lot of pink at my house too, but I tend t...I have a lot of pink at my house too, but I tend to blame my pinkish red brick on the front of our house. It just matches that way, you know? I always enjoy the colors and textures of your garden, but what I notice is that your plants never seem outgrown like mine. My plants get all crazy and gigantic over time, and then it just gets crazy and wild out there. How do you keep your plants small and well behaved?

I so hop...Hello there Grace and thank you so much ! I so hope all goes well with the haying process .. I know it is a lot of work but it looks like no rain in sight for a long time so that should help. Don't over do it girl .. you have to look after yourself remember !!<br /><br />Jennifer .. I really have a problem with OCD and keeping things neat .. it can be so hard on me at times I just want to scream and hide under my bed some days.<br />It is such a driving force ... so yes it looks restful thank you so much for saying that: )<br />But it takes a lot out of me to try and keep it that way .. gardeners are very bad at taking a time out to just enjoy their gardens eh ? LOL<br /><br />Cindee girl I wish you as much rain as possible .. I know it is terrible in California I so hope it does rain and gives that poor patch of earth some relief .. I know you must be dragging the hose around .. be careful not to over do it and get too tired !<br /><br />Hello Rose girl ! ... Yes some of our plants tend to scare us a bit eh ? I just have to keep remembering the Indian Pinks take their own time coming up .. I lost my beautiful buddleia <br />Nanho Blue ... I have to wait until next Spring to replace it now because there are too many plants in the same area .. they would get squashed with me tramping around.<br />YES ! dragonflies love eating mosquitoes that is why I love to see them in the garden : )<br />I'll tell him to send his friends around to your place ?

Love the Indian Pinks! I planted some last year for the first time and also thought they hadn't survived the winter. But I finally saw them peeking out in early June, much to my delight. Beautiful dragonfly! I don't know if they eat mosquitoes, but they could have a non-stop feast in my garden this year if they do:)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-7186750940639358232015-07-04T00:41:30.308-04:002015-07-04T00:41:30.308-04:00Beautiful!
