How does your gothic garden grow?

Jealous about the rose, because this one knows she wouldn't be able to keep it alive... I do my best, but something that only relies on my memory is doomed... I only every remember things when it's too late, like watering the flowers. Hopefully tho, that will change, because I do believe flowers are so beautifull, and I'd have my whole room filled with them if I just could take proper care of them

Those are some gorgeous flowers janelle. The only thing that bloomed in my garden this year was my setums. They are a ground creeper with tiny purple flowers. They are quite beautiful but I only have two so the rest of the yard looks pretty bleak.

My mother brought over a number of plants for me this year, claiming that they were impossible to kill but, alas, as I said only the setums bloomed. I think the main problem is that the previous owners had a couple of dogs who dug up and did their business all over the yard so the ground is kind of detoxifying now. I'll have to wait until next spring and start again once I see what survives. I'm in central Canada so we have some pretty bleak and harsh winters. Maybe around april I can start working again.
