Ambitious and incompetent

Bought a house two years ago. It had a garden that all the neighbours said used to be so nice. For some reason I set out to make it nice again. I have no previous experience with gardening.

Declaring sping opened with primrose. Got thse at the grocery store, although I have seeds. Should have planted seeds in october, but forgot about it.

Low ipomeas turned out really nice this year thanks to an unusually warm and sunny summer. I have harvested seeds and will try again next year, although our usual, damp climate often leave these looking rather miserable.

My orangerie is becomming more of a storage room, now that summer is waning. I’ll have to make more room for pelargonias when frost starts to threaten.
