gardening
i think this may become my new past time, as i said in the previous post. is that correct "past time"? or maybe it is one word "pasttime." certainly it isn't "passtime," although that seems to be more accurate. i am not sure. anyway, maybe gardening will be my new hobby.i did garden a little when we lived on chesapeake street, but mostly in containers. i am sort of fixated with flowering vines. i think they are the best thing about gardening. when i was clearing out some junk from our yard i found many many many vines which i believe may be clematis. i am pretty sure they are clematis. i can't communicate how excited this makes me! the clematis is one of my faves. this clematis almost seems to be spreading on its own. not that i think it is incapable, but i didn't realise it would spread out quite so significantly. i am sure the former gardener planted one or two or maybe more vines, but certainly not this many and not this randomly! still, it seems like kismet that we bought a place where someone planted these vines that i adore. i can't wait to see them when they bloom! i have no idea what color or variety they are.
i am also obsessed with scented pelargoniums, also known as scented geraniums. i kept 6 or so in containers in the house (they are tender perrenials and too tender to be overwintered outside!) but they did not handle the move to our new house. i think it is too cold in the house. i will have to replenish my collection!
other plants that are on my mind: flowering quince (i think we may have two of these!), passion flower, elephant ears (or, i just learned, colocasia), and flowering bonsai shrubbery.
spring can't arrive soon enough!
