My Green Thumb

As you can see spring is turning into summer and with the heat the plants go crazy, what was once a barren wasteland is now beginning to fill in with greenery. The large bush in the background is the black locust that I need to cut back every year. The shrub in front of that is the hydrangea which gets a lacy cream-colored flower on it all through summer, and as you can see the vinca that I planted is taking root. I planted some things on the other side of the stairs; some are holding on and others didn't make it so I have this hodgepodge of plants going on over there. I've got to make a decision on whether or not to pull them up and start over again or just leave them be and see what happens.
