Blue Bells at River Bend River Park.
April 17, 2019
Wonderful walk along the Potomac at River Bend Park today with Sandy Batterton. The Blue Bells were magnificent- never seen anything so glorious and serene. There was swath of them flanking the path for at least a mile. So powerful to see the masses of them against the dark bark of trees and boulders. The paths are sandy so the green leaves and blue flowers were beautifully framed.
The good news is that when I returned I watered the transplanted Red Bud tree I moved to the fence line with Tammy's house.... there is a bare spot created when she severely pruned her goldspot bush. I watered the garden beds along the garage and saw something little and green. Upon inspection, I realized that the arugula sprouted !!!! so exciting.
Nottoway Park, Vienna, Va has community gardens adjacent to Hunter House.I enjoy walking through the gardens and several years ago, I put my name on the waitlist for a plot (#99th on the list). This summer I received/was assigned plot #24. Since I am new to gardening I decided to start a blog to record my experiences. NOTTOWAY PARK is located at 9537 Courthouse Road. One can play tennis, basketball, volleyball, garden, picnic, use the fitness trail, or enjoy the quiet wooded nature paths.
