Spring break seemed to rule this month - it seems every school in the world has spring break on a different week! So my days were turned upside down to say the least ... I have to admit "my schedule" was disturbed lol Thank goodness I only have 2 teens to juggle. I did receive my Blueberries yesterday ...
I was wondering how in the world they were going to ship them and they did do a great job - all intact and neat. I already have 2 other types of blueberry plants that I recently purchased so once I plant them out and they get themselves all established, I should have a Blueberry Patch to sing about!
Check this out ..... Dried flowers from my own yard - how easy. I did read a few articles about just looking around in your own yard or area for what nature brings and I sure found just that - can't wait to get down south and scope it out!
This is Autumn Joy Sedum and then some ferns to follow (remember my new interest ... dried flowers)
And this............dried grass, how obvious - something I have looked at for years but never realized what a fantastic dried planting it is!
and... of course, there is always one that baffles me. This last one seems to fly into the yard every year from a neighboring yard - not sure who, but it appears! Seems like a great dried flower - no clue what it is though!

Those are great photos, Debstr! I love dried plants, especially grasses. I think that last one is a hydrangea.
I'm getting blueberries too. I've been aching to get started on an edible boundary between my yard and my north side neighbor, and what could be better than blueberries?

Deb, you need to find that Hydrangea bush and get you a start from it. They are super easy to root, just take a cutting and stick it in the ground or a pot. Most times it will bloom a bit the next year.
Go for it. Linda B
