Getting the Summer 08 started
Mar 3, 2008 | 5:26 PM PST
I was off today for the first time in weeks and I was on my knees all day loving the mother earth and thanking God for all that I have...and all that I DON'T have! Yes it is good to be thankful for those things we do not have! I planted several Boxwood type bushes. I am not a big fan of Boxwoods, but this particular bush reminds me of my childhood with my Step father who I love and miss terribly. He is still alive but his new wife does not like that I am past history...she will feel the full circle. I also planted lots of day lilies today and also Siberian Iris...not sure what they look like but I am excited to see free! I do not spend alot of money but I do have a boldness about me that makes me walk up and knock on doors and ask if they'd like to do a plant swap! I offer to thin their plants in exchange for some of the plants...most of the time they are very agreeable...when they are not I make 'em feel like meanies! I love what we have for beauty and God gave these to us to love, nurture and enjoy...not to mention share! I am ready for a rest, back is whinning just a bit! Oh, I also started some seeds...Canteberry Bells ( I ahve never had any luck with these but I keep trying!) Snapdragons, Cherry tomatoes, Pansies, and a freebie that a fellow gardener sent me. So we will see what happens! I can hardly wait! Deesi

I loved your pictures. I welcome you neighbor. I'm from south central Kentucky on Lake Cumberland. It was the second day that temperatures were 70+ deg. I worked in the yard, clearing leaves from flower beds and planting grass seed. It was truly a satisfying pleasure. Post yourself in introductions in the forums so everyone can get to know you better. Y'all have a great day and happy gardening. Bill Mitchell |

Wow!I thought I was the only bold one to do things like that, with knocking on doors and asking for things... What's the worse someone could say is no......I'm not afraid of that word, I just don't often hear it...lol I like you photos and Welcome to GG it's a great place to be. I would love to continue putting flowerbeds in, but hubby threatened to buy me a push mower. So now I just "extend" my flowerbeds. Have a great weekend and think Spring. It's not in Pennsylvania yet.......but soon. Kratz7 |
