IRIS TIME

NOW THE IRIS ARE IN FULL BLOOM--ACTUALLY SOME OF THEM ARE ALREADY DONE. THERE'S NOTHING LIKE THEM WHEN THEY'RE IN BLOOM...THEN YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DISGUISE THEM WHEN THEY'RE DONE!!

The Ides of May

OK so I missed the exact date, but I'm close! Here's a sampling of blooms in my garden right now. Don't you just love this time of year? That rose is a miniature...I keep my eye out at the grocery stores for them--often cheaply priced and with some TLC they acclimate pretty quickly to the great outdoors. Also, my Tahoka Daisy seeds were included in a treasury. I'm just babying the seedlings for this year right now. Here's the link:

It's Spring...He Shouted!!

Finally!! Many days of rainy, cool temps. A true spring, I guess. But today was awesome. My little perennials from winter sowing are getting bigger every day and some have had to be repotted, and I'm still waiting on some...meantime, I've been very busy trying to get annuals going. I LOVE SPRING!!! Those on the right are still waiting to come to life...

TA DAAAHHH!!!

So now you can finally tell it's a rose. It's enjoying 24 hour a day fake lighting while waiting for spring to arrive. The other picture is of my new crop of clematis (I killed the first ones by removing the tent too quickly so I'm trying to be more patient with these). Hopefully, they'll make it...

SNOW---FINALLY!!!

I was beginning to wonder if it would ever happen. And as you can see it wasn't all that much. I like the way all the winter sowing containers look with just a dusting of snow on them. The best part is knowing that inside those jars...things are happening!!
