For years I have begged Mr. Ivy for a burning bush. I know, I know--why didn't I just buy one myself? After all, in the spring I wanted hollyhocks and I bought two fine specimens (which REFUSED to grow, no matter how much I watered them or how much Miracle Gro I gave them), and I bought myself a very robust honeysuckle plant, too. But I didn't think to buy myself a burning bush.
Well, my begging (nagging?) did not go unnoticed and on Tuesday Mr. Ivy presented me with a burning bush. Only it's green. And it has rained for two days straight and who wants to plant a bush in the rain?
Still, I'm hoping that by next fall my bush will look like this.
What's new in your garden?
