FINALLY we have had some perfect weather, and I got ot go out with Dad. I showed you one picture of me sniffing the azalea yesterday. Our lilacs were also in bloom for Mother's Day (an annual ritual is for Dad to pick some for Mom for the brekkie table on Mother's Day). Here is another picture near two azalea bushes. When my humans moved into this house, these two plants were itty bitty. Look at them now!
As you can see, we need a little better grass growing in this area, and Dad hopes to give some attention to the lawn here later in the spring and summer. The combination of shade and big trees and shallow roots form the shrubs makes grass struggle.
Of course, azaleas and other bushes do need fertilizer to keep them growing, so I obliged behind this other one near the foundation of the house. A little nitrogen is good for everything!
Now we all know why your garden looks so good!
ReplyDeleteSimba, you look so handsome next to that purple. I think purple really brings out our orange coats

Hmph! My human tosses MY fertilizer in the trash!
ReplyDeleteWay to fertilize that garden! I'm sure your humans appreciate it. Also, your azaleas are gorgeous! We had huge lilac bushes in the house where I grew up - I loved when there was a breeze and the scent would waft through the whole yard and into the house.
