Flowers

My 2020 backyard garden was started with the best of intentions and grew quite nicely until the backyard mulberry tree leafed out and began to shade the garden patch.  The mulberry needs to be trimmed - cut down, probably - but that messy chore fell victim to the pandemic.  If T and I don’t cut it back this Winter, I will hire a tree service to come out and do it come next Spring.  Its presence meant that the zinnias took longer than I like to wait for flowers to bloom.  But there are enough now to start off a bouquet and that is a most welcome treat as school is underway.
