a day in the life of a latvian mom

Finally, this weekend we planted the hydrangeas and roses that had been waiting in their pots for far too long. 😅

I think I originally bought three roses and one hydrangea for the girls’ name day on 22 May. And there they were, waiting patiently in their pots while I kept postponing planting them. I just couldn’t decide where everything should go, and with everything else going on, finding the time and energy was almost impossible.

Then, on 30 September, we bought even more hydrangeas. And guess what? We finally planted them all on Sunday!

So, my hydrangea collection now includes Polar Bear (the one I was gifted in May), Hercules, Limelight, another Polar Bear (apparently, I didn’t know the one in May was Polar Bear), and Prime White.

As for the roses, I have three without name tags. No idea what varieties they are! I also dug up two and replanted them somewhere else. Hopefully, they will forgive me. Now everything is finally in the ground, and I can stop feeling guilty every time I walk past those pots. Let’s hope the plants settle in well before winter arrives!

And the best part, I can always dig out and plant somewhere else.

What gardening jobs are you doing now?
