My City Garden: On her best behavior

On her best behavior

Someone has heard she might be made into wood chips if she doesn't turn things around and seems to be making an effort to behave...

She's still not looking great by any means, but every week she's sending out more leaves and giving me hope that she'll stick around for a while.

Is that your viburnum? That's so exciting! She obviously knows who's boss.

Some plants occasionally require an ultimatum to encourage them to reconsider their priorities :).

About Me

Hi, I'm Kathryn. I garden in Zone 7a in Philadelphia, PA, where I'm trying to make my enormous perennial garden dreams happen on a tiny city lot.

Before 2012, I used this space to keep track of photos of my garden while maintaining a handwritten journal. Since 2012, I've been using it as that but also as a garden blog. You'll be able to tell the difference in posts.

Also in 2012, my back and side yards underwent a total transformation. I found out I'd been planting on someone else's property (it wasn't really mine) for 7 years. New homes went up and half of my garden was ripped out. I had to start all over.
