Grey Days and Scarlet Sage

[ursulav]

It’s a grey day in the garden, and it’s beautiful.

Why this particular grey day is beautiful, and the last handful just made me want to sleep for a week, I will leave for the reader-either you know the difference in greys or you don’t, and there’s not much point in explaining it. Possibly it has to do with the thunderstorm that is wandering around

I expect the blood sage would probably manage to sink roots in there This phrase conjures up images of vampiric plants with very long and sharp fangs roots.

I don't have a real yard of my own (we live in a condo) but I'm thinking I might slowly work on planting natives in a nearby area of the power company's land bordering ours. They don't take care of it. It's just a belt of land with power lines. Some of it is overgrown with blackberries, but one enterprising elderly couple opened up a trail into the blackberries and just inside opened up a large area that they now use for a hidden vegetable garden! I love it! I don't know how they manage to keep everything watered, though. They must haul it out there, because even a 100' hose wouldn't be long enough

I planted up some daffodil and crocus bulbs today. I'm hoping in pots, they'll be one of the few things to survive the rigors of my teeny balcony full-sun VERY-generously-termed 'garden'.
