Just one thing I love about the Spring Flush!

One of my favorite things about the "Spring Flush" is not only a lot of
roses blooming at once, but there's the anticipation of more to come! Daydreaming!

Spring...a few things to think about for newbies

RE/Petting :) I love the feel of the new growth of the juniper I bought this spring. It's trained already to begin with as the nursery had a workshop (which I missed) but I felt like so long as the new growth was soft to the touch it was feeling okay. I poked several tiny pieces into the outer edge of the pot to try to root that I trimmed off at the base stem. One is still soft and gives me hope it might actually root like that? I don't know...just instinct to try to root it like an african violet leaf! A newbie who will need some advice. Have been reacquainting myself with GardenWeb after several years away. (Spike doesn't live here or yell at us anymore? :) A link I posted to another site got me yelled at...happy to see optional links line installed... cool!

tjicken~ I had no clue which one you were talking about and had to go look it up. LOL! (tags have been lost over the years.) Wow! It will be great if it ever blooms. He's had it about 5 yrs now with no blooms. He liked it because of the color and shape of the needles. Thank you for sharing the name. Oh and I found today the comon name is Arizona hedge hog..lol! I'm in Tucson, Arizona. :) puglvr1 and emerald.. Thank you! Yes he is proud and has to take care of his plants on his own when he asks me to buy them! He grows sunflowers and a few others types in the summer, and helps with all garden chores in general. It started when he was 3. What little boy doesn't like dirt! LOL! But I think mom got more excited over finding worms than he did. LOL! And now that he's older, I have to keep them a secret or his dad and him would be heading to the lake. :) Emerald~ thank you! I tried that and the glue just didnt want to give... it ended up taking all the needles with it. It was on pretty thick. The plant is o.k. though. I do have one small fish hook type that blooms each summer. Just showed up in my yard next to my barrel cactus.

Yay! I also have the peony and bleeding heart coming up that I brought just the bare roots with me and put them in starter pots the same time I planted seeds of the the beans, wisteria, daylilies and hibiscus. I know it will be awhile on the hibiscus but I do have them under heat hoping to force them out. And I had no idea what would pop up around here since this is the first growing season we have lived here, but one whole length of the garage and about 3 feet wide is nothing but Iris! I have no idea what color they are but I am eagerly waiting. I have random narcissus and naked ladies popping up in odd places. Every day I wake up and take a walk around the property just to see what is new. LOL

Thanks Carol. I may not be as active posting on the group but I think about everyone very often. In fact, hubby said this week (while planting onions) "I hope we can get some more plants from Okiedawn this year". I told him she just might be able to spare an extra plant or two. He loves those Biker Billy's and yummy tomatoes. Lisa, I did the happy dance at the mere thought of your cornbread salad again this year. That just screams spring fling to me. Very happy dance! I also want to thank our gracious hosts. It just wouldn't be the same anywhere else! Please call on me to help with any extra needs before the shindig! Looking forward to seeing everyone again this year.

I used to love it, but it's been absent since the drought. However, I can well remember the euphoria of stepping into the garden and seeing everything in full bloom. Perhaps it will happen next spring if and when the anticipated huge El Nino arrives, and then I'll probably take a thousand pictures just in case it never happens again here.

Thanks so much everyone. Judy, I love seeing all the beautiful roses you cut, they're gorgeous. Carol, you definitely make the most of your short growing season, I love your roses! Seil, I agree, everything does look beautiful and healthy when they begin to bloom. Patty, in this picture I have Bewitched, Tiffany, Pink Peace, Perfume Delight and the one lonely yellow is Midas Touch. It used to be my favorite yellow HT, it was so vigorous and healthy. I was looking at the bush this evening and it is looking a lot better, hope it really starts doing its thing next year. Ingrid, I do hope you start getting the rain I know you need and you can get really excited about your roses again. I can relate somewhat to your situation, but I don't think we've had it quite as bad here.
