What's Blooming in Your Area?

17 years ago

I just came in from planting 9 pepper plants and 9 tomato plants and I noticed some yellow flags in the pond are blooming, the Virginia bluebells are really blooming, the cranes foot geraniums are pretty and I saw some iris blooming. Also here in Central Indiana, the black raspberries are just starting to bloom. Hopefully this year we will have lots of them. The poppies and the peonies are really budding. Oh, I forgot my wild dogwood is looking really pretty too. So what is blooming where you are?

I am in Newfoundland, not much is blooming. Daffodils, some early tulips, the hyacinths are just starting to open. The crocuses are gone. The forsythia trees are yellow.

We have wild roses and honeysuckle blooming like crazy along with wild blackberries and daisies. The air is heady with the wonderful scent. There are lots of wildflowers blooming that I have no idea of what they could be, but they are pretty. In the garden, my peonies are really starting to bloom. The iris are about finished and the daylilies are budding.

Thursday Tea...what's happening in your garden?

Hi, everyone! Elizabeth, I'm so glad you stopped by...I hope you'll 'pop in' anytime :) It's been so busy, here, I haven't had any time to garden the past few weeks. I'm hoping to get some work done tomorrow, after work. So much weeding to do...but I know the deer will find and eat my roses, so I'm waiting a little longer to pull out the cosmos and little daisy weeds. They're so cute, but they do spread! Luckily, I have very well behaved deer (so far) and they don't walk into the beds, just stand on the grass and nibble what sticks out past the lavender. The taller roses are the ones I'm hiding behind the weeds! LOL It's been a long week, so I'm going to relax with a nice cup of Earl Grey and play with my garden plan. Elizabeth- I saw your post, on the other side and I think your new space is going to be wonderful! How nice, not to have frost until October :) Annette- My mom hates weed cloth too, for the same reason. She inherited a bunch at her old house and swore never to use it, again. Your shopping trip sounds like fun, especially the daisies! Becky- Your photo is beautiful and I would love to share a cup of rose and jasmine tisane with you...it sounds so good! Your rose is such a lovely shade of pink. Is that from your garden? What kind is it? Cracking- I hope your butterfly bushes root, this time. They're so pretty, with the roses and cosmos, blooming in front of them. I think your tea from China sounds very interesting. Do you know what kind you have?

Hello all, nice to be back. With all the activity going around, I guess I should also launch the other thread of "What happened in your garden this week". I'll start it on Monday. I am still doing my spring cleaning, or should I say.... my fall cleaning. But it's going well, I still have the upper hand on my garden! I haven't seen my iris reticulata yet, which is a bit of a surprise. Things are warming up very slowly, I guess it's the same for all of us. I hope no one ate them.... and my rose "Marechal Niel" is also in bloom but that's inside, so of course it's cheating... Best Belle Isis

What is your average Days on market in your area

When we were selling our house I pulled the activity reports on a number of houses that had sold or were on the market. Some of the houses that on the comps were showing quick sales had actually been on the market for years! We are looking at houses now to buy and I always pull an activity report on any house that I am considering. It is often highly interesting. It does at times make me wonder about what the seller is thinking. For example, there is a nice house on acreage that we saw listed. It has lovely pictures and appears to be very updated, etc. It is on a busy street which is a negative. The seller originally listed it just over a year ago at a particular price. A few months later they dropped the price - $1. The listing recently expired and it was put back on the market a day or so later at the same price. I take it as a given that any house that has sat on the market for 6 months or more and hasn't sold is overpriced for the market. As a seller -- I recognized that and dropped my price. I am truly baffled by those sellers who don't do that. I see house after house that I know is overpriced because, well, it hasn't sold. I see some houses that have been on the market off and on for years with price reductions that are clearly insufficient. I just saw a listing of a house I really like although for various reasons would appeal to a limited pool of buyers. The current owners put on the market a little over a year after buying it. They put it on the market at 10% more than they paid for it. I pulled the prior listing and all the really nice updates in the house were put in before they bought it. Houses are just not going up 10% in this market. There just seem to be so many sellers who have wishful thinking about what their houses will sell for and who just keep the house on the market at prices that are too high. I can understand not wanting to sell at those prices in which case take the house off the market. But if you want to sell then I don't really understand letting it sit for 6 months, a year, or 2 years without reducing the price to one where the house will sell. (And I say that as someone who had to bring a check to closing when we sold our house so I understand how it is hard to do it but sometimes it is what you have to do if you want to sell).

Post your all summer bloom rose pictures and reviews for Denver area

Barb, Thanks! I thought I was hardening them off by leaving them outdoors but I don't think I moved them into full sun enough. I put them in our courtyard under a tree and then moved them into a more filtered sun area with only morning and evening direct sun but not heat of the day. I was worried the roots would cook in the pots. I do have lawn chairs on a few of the more hard hit ones. The Chuckles have been in the ground a few weeks and seem to have problems when we get a lot of dry wind. I increased the amount of water going to them so hopefully that will also help. But maybe I am drowning them? Who knows. I will research each of the roses you mentioned and really appreciate the suggestions. Mordon Sunset was on my short list of potential adds but is out of stock from High Country Roses right now. Probably for the best that I test the bed for a year to make sure roses do well there. Do you have full bush pictures of your Morden Sunset and how big does it get here? Also how old is it? Right now I planted one Pretty Pink Lady and 2 Sally Holmes. The 2 Sally Holmes are on the back side and the Pretty Pink Lady is on the front. There is a ton of square footage in the middle. I also don't have a good layout yet because I did not clear it completely so have to work around a few things.

We have lots of geraniums, begonias, petunias, amaryllis, honeysuckle, hydrangeas, lantana, brugmansias, Dusty Miller, impatiens,and something I can't remember the name for. Oh! and Blue Daze, which I love. The gardenias are budded out but not blooming and lots of flowers on the squash plants. It's spring in East Texas!!
