I didn't write anything yesterday because I didn't go out in the yard to play, but yesterday, I finally got all the flowers from Mother's Day planted. It tried to spread them around to get the enjoyment from all of them. I had a hard time finding a good spot for the Asiatic lily. I wanted to put it in the perfect place. I chose the middle of The Hibiscus Garden. The trouble was, I had to move another lily out of the way. There was barely a place to put a foot, so I had to do some wild contortions to get it done. What a sight it is. What really sets it off is there are some pink evening primroses blooming around it, waving in the breeze. I decided to put all the vincas in the New Daffodil bed since there is no color in there at all. I dug out six spots, which wasn't easy because it is loaded with lilies, iris, my thyme seedlings, sage seedlings, cilantro plants, and daffodils going by. When I started planting, I discovered that it was only a four-pack, not a six-pack. Somebody got gyped.

I got the hummers feeders washed and refilled although I don't know why I bother. I haven't seen a hummer in days and days and days. Later in the late afternoon, I decided to pull some more clover weed in the back yard. I heard the gentle drops of rain. Yippee. The problem was, it wasn't enough to even wet my back, so I kept pulling. I got a full bucket load of them out. It's starting to look better and better. Rain is in the forecast, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

My gardens are the same way- full to the brim with plants! :) If I were to pull the weeds in my lawn, I wouldn't have one hehehe. Maybe I should start doing that, and then put grass seed in the new bare spots... Hope you get more rain |

When I went to my favorite nursery to pick my plants out this year, I noticed that they had everything in 4-packs in stead of 6-packs this year - vegetables, flowers, herbs. I felt gyped too. |

Ms. Witt you have to show us some pics! (Are you like me-struggling with that-can't wait for Clint to get home!) I thought of you today-somewhere you mentioned you missed the Oleanders-They are blooming and smelling everywhere here now. They are especially pretty around the SUPER-LANDSCAPED casinos. I'll take pictures and maybe oneday we'll see em! |
