What's Blooming in your gardne - a photo thread - June 2013
Comments (60)Thanks to all the beautiful blooms. I went out yesterday and got a 1 gallon size Karl Rosenfield peony for $15. It's young and has not bloomed nor does it have any buds. For that price, I can wait! I ran out of time and was unable to put it in the ground today. Thanks to the picture of Claire's Knock Out rose, I went out today and got one for $11.50. It's a left over from last year and very leggy. The woman who takes care of the plants there told me to prune it 'back hard' and 'feed it' once a week or every other week to force it to grow more stems and leaves. Oh, I should have taken a before and after picture. I have to say that it's awful looking right now. After pruning, I re-potted it in a 3 gallon container. I think it will stay in the pot to recuperate and grow. I will plant it in a couple of months. Or, should I just winter the whole pot in the garage and plant it next spring? -Tina...See Morenew: mnf's: june 'share your summer swap'
Comments (38)Hey everyone! Faye, I'm so sorry about your long work hours but SO GLAD everything arrived okay...phew. That makes me feel better. And I apologize about not giving you a larger variety but as you could see that coneflower took up most of the box. Shirley, got the pics. Thanks so much for sharing them! Ellie, I can deal with the slugs, lol. We just really need the rain. The ground has huge cracks in it already with it being so dry. Usually we don't see this till the end of August. I've been watering every day. That hose is getting heavy :) The kids and I started our Haybale Decorating contest for the fair. I said pick something easy we can do. Last year we won first place with our rainbow butterfly hay bale. That took a few days to make those wings. So this year, please, pick something easy...what did they choose...a PLESIASAURUS! You got it...I'm making the Loch Ness Monster from a hay bale. I have the head, flippers and tail just about base coated. The kids will put the finishing touches on everything with sponge painting. We'll put it all tog. at the fairgrounds next week. I have to get a picture of this to post when its done. What will kids think of next? :) Well, I think this swap is officially wrapped up :P And partners are... vina (flowergirl34)sends to faye (nottougly)***SENT***REC'D*** faye (nottougly) sends to shirley (sjc48)***SENT***REC'D*** shirley (sjc48) sends to vina (flowergirl34) ***SENT***REC'D*** THANK YOU EVERYBODY!

Comments (18)Hi. Raeanne, thanks for checking on me. We just got back from vacationing with friends in Chicago. I have spent the last couple of weeks preparing for the trip, then being on the trip, then having company until Sunday. Won't bore you with any details, but absolutely loved Chicago. When we arrived we were just in time for the Blackhawks (hockey) parade/celebration. Then caught a game at Wrigley Field (Cubs/White Sox.) Us "girls" caught the matinee of "Billy Elliott" at The Oriental Theater - which was pretty awesome. Ate at wonderful restaurants, drank too much wine, etc. - so am not weighing in until next week - ha! We walked every morning we were there - such beautiful flowers and parks! Of course, shopped until literally dropping. It was so nice to get away from the real world. We did not watch tv or the news at all while we were away. I'm trying to keep depression at bay, because living here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, which has not recovered from Katrina yet, and to have this oil spill happening. I read today where a boat captain in nearby Gulf Shores, Alabama, had committed suicide. Since his business had suffered, he had been hired by BP to use his boat in the cleanup efforts. I don't believe in suicide, but to go from something you love to doing something so depressing has to take its toll. I pray that an answer is found soon - I can't believe it's taking so long to fix. Perhaps maybe I should have waited longer before posting again. I will catch up on everyone's posts soon, but have to congratulate Maddie on scoring such excellent grades! I'm off to the grocery store for some much-needed groceries. Besh, I no longer "officially" do weight watchers, since our location closed down, but am trying to adhere to its basic plan. I did splurge and eat way too much red meat in Chicago and my stomach is still calming down from that! Hope today is a good one for everyone....See MoreOBF- June Hello Summer Card Seed Swap + Funtabulous Games
