My Thoughts About Gardening... :D

My thoughts about gardening are these: Don't be so quick to yank it out of the ground, --- wait and see what comes up... Prune it, fertilize it, water it, --- wait and see what comes up... Patience... A few years ago I thought my Old World roses had been winter killed by -15 temperatures... Wrong, they suffered, but they survived. Now, in early April, my gardens look pretty sad, still sporting their protection of last years Fall leaves, [I never rake. Those decomposing leaves put nitrogen in the soil too.] still a few green sprouts are showing, --- the garlic chives, oregano... My thyme, spearmint, and catmint planted last September may be dead, but maybe not. We'll see... 🤔🤫🌹🥀🌺🌼🌞🌸...
