Mmmm.... Jasmine 

My friend Kammie gave me her potted Jasmine to plant in my yard since she's moving to Vermont and was getting rid of her plants. It wasn't very happy here so I wound up laying it to rest and buying a new Jasmine which I planted last Saturday. It's a Pink Jasmine, it's taller than I am and it smells wonderful! I have a piece of it in my room right now and it the smell of jasmine is everywhere. This guy was a lot of work though. I spent hours carefully untangling the vines and tying it to the trellis. I sure hope this one makes it. I have great intentions for my plants, but since I'm so new at doing this it's taking awhile to make my brown thumb less brown. If I could I'd have a yard full of scented flowers like jasmine, wisteria, honeysuckle and trumpet trees. Here's a before and after picture.


Oh and the 4 plants I have in my office are actually still alive and thriving! I'm so proud. Even after one of them got gnats and I had to wash all the soil off its roots and transplant it. Yay me! Crap, did I just jinx myself?
