I've found that my gardening has replaced my quilting time and budget. The heat wave took out many of my tender annuals and I've had to spend more more of my budget to replace them. I hope they don't bake this time. I should have chosen less sun-sensitive plants, but these violas are so charming. A new gardener does need to spend a lot to purchase basic supplies such as soil, shovels, and fertilizers, but once those are in the garage, I should be able to get by within my budget. (Except that I paid a pro to take out massive shrubs I hated.) I've got most of my plantings done now, so I'll only need a few annuals to perk up my yard each spring. Plus all the fertilizers to help them along. Now I can spend my time puttering and dead-heading.
