| Esperanza bush source |
Over the weekend David and I played dirty. He dug up the area along the chain linked fence and planted 6 more Esperanza bushes. He loves those things. We have them growing along the south and west sides of the house. When these little lovelies grow, they block the hot Texas sun from hitting the house. They love the heat and tolerate drought conditions to a certain degree. Meaning we only have to water them once a week. They also attract bees like crazy and we need bees for our veggie garden, so Esperanzas are helping us out in more ways than one here.
He also planted a butt load of Astilbe in 4 different colors for me. They were planted in the front garden in the shady areas. These flowers love the shade and tolerate almost every abuse you can throw at them. We will see if they stand up to those SOB cats in the neighborhood who like to use my garden for their personal toilet.
I also received a buttload of Begonia bulbs in the mail. I bought a whole catalog full of them. I love garden porn These are the flowering kind. One of my most favorite flowers to grow and the hardest to keep alive. I love begonias because they are so pretty and the flower is like that of a rose. They come in beautiful colors and are also shade lovers. I planted them this morning and I'm hoping I can get these to grow and flower. If they do I will be the happiest camper ever.
