Good Morning, good morning.

Is everyone ready to tackle this new week?

Central Texas Weather....very NICE till middle of week. Then in the 90's lol How is the weather treating you?

To Do List: plant some more of the seedlings. But first it would be nice to have a flowerbed to put them in rofl How about your plans?

Took a little walk through the yard late last night ...of course it was still light lol. Otherwise I would not have seen that the 4 O'Clock had his first bloom of the Season.

Of course I am watching the Flamenco Buds grow and can not wait to start showing Brug pictures. But I always LOVE to see other pictures from everyone. It opens up yet another part of the plant world to me.

I want to thank everyone again for doing that for me.

Hugs

Lucy

Of course I hope you will have a super day!!!

That's pretty Lucy! 4 o'clocks are so dependable; once planted, you will always have some.

BTW, looking at the calendar's May pix -- beautiful Pink Charm brug!

Wishing everyone a wonderful week.

I wanted to add a photo myself. It's not a blossom, but it is one of my favorites. Coleus versa green halo.

Wow! Isn't it great to start thinking of anotehr garden season!!! For a change I actually got to just a bit of the cleanup this past fall. Can't do it right now as its all covered with 3-4' snowdrifts.....out of sight, out of mind - LOL Lucy- glad you got to have Maddy over the wknd. Our G'son is just a block away but now at (almost)10 spends more time w chums than G'ma and I. Pulling into the driveway last night I could see him running home...all flailing elbows and knees in snowgear and boots...never walks, always running. Paused in the drive to watch-LOL. What a joy they are! All the projects remind me of similar needs in my yard but I think I'm going to be investing most of my money in larger containers for all the cuttings which were shared with me this fall.....on top of the 'herd' I already had accumulated. Yaaayyy. Maybe I've 'turned the corner' with both my bronchitis and attitude. Y'all have gotten me ready to start thinking about 2010 much more postively. Will

Karyn thanks to you I also have them growing from seeds. Lord only knows WHERE>...I swear...I have to find a better way of keeping the things I grow from seeds...labeled. In the end I was under such time crunch, that there are only a few I KNOW what they are. Like the KMOTGG :-) Oh well...surprise growing season and probably a lot of replanting. If they survive that! Joyce this is the first year I am growing them. Just planted them in spring. but I already know that I want a lot more. They look just so unreal. today the edge of this one has a real slight hint of pink or purple. Lucy

Oh, boy I hope they weren't in there this evening. I was spraying the front for mosquitoes and fleas and had John do the back. I forgot to tell him to not do the greenhouse and he did that and all the plants too. I hope it doesn't kill my roses and chrysanthemum. It said not to use on those. He sprayed all my plants that weren't near ponds so I hope it dosen't kill any of them! I saw quite a few critters on the brugs when I was stripping them today but they looked much less than there was before. Blasting them has been working well except THey were hiding on the back side of the plant, lol. I had to turn each plant around and sure enough they were all line up in the spots I had been not getting too. Sneaky dang mealy bugs. I laid several of them on the ground and blasted on side then rolled and did it again until I got them all the way around this time.

I love the color of that one Lucy. I have a pot full coming up in my lemon tree, lol. They were beside each other last year and I guess the seeds fell in. I only had pink or yellow. Wonder what fell in? Russ you just reminded me my Easter lilly disappeared. How sad. They are beaufitul. I thought it was just late in blooming but forgot about it. Matter of fact I forgot where I planted it when I moved it to put in the pond. I hate being forgetful. Now I don't even know where to look for it since I was just going to wait for the blooms to appear, lol.
