What I did in my garden This week 3/16-3/22
Comments (38)We are pushing the limits of good sense here in north Texas planting out our tomato transplants last Sunday. (Surely these plants will be 'blessed' because we put them in on Sunday????) They certainly enjoyed the multi-inch rain on Tuesday and the mild temps since. One of our first projects was to re-do the small water feature near the back porch. The old one developed a leak and had to be replaced. The new container is in and the fountain is splashing merrily. It needs the rocks fussed with and fresh mulch, but it sounds and looks good. We've scraped up the old mulch path in the white garden....ummmmmmm good mulch. And replaced with fresh pine bark nuggets. The swing in that garden got stripped and repainted as well. Today I put in a few white petunias and the area looks so good. We sprayed our home-made bunny-be-gone on some potential munchies....now the new growth on the daylilies will last longer than a day. Every time I go outside I want to take photos of the red tulips in the front yard. I've already taken photos, but the flowers are so bright and fresh, I want to take more. LOL See the tulips on my blog, linked below. Happy spring everyone! Here is a link that might be useful: Creative Soul...See MoreWhat's Blooming First Week of May
Comments (10)Christie, when they all get bloomed out, you are welcome to come out and pick out what you want... The white is just Immortality and usually reblooms for me. It also has a slight fragrance. Helen, all on earth I do is plant them with the tuber facing out and barely cover leaving some exposed to the sun. Then I keep debris like leaves pulled out of the heart of the clumps. They like sun on the tubers. If not, they will rot under the 'mulch'. Also if the ground is wet be sure to plant them on a raised hill or ridge. I lost several one year because of rain standing on them too long. I just took a picture of Superstition and Swingtown. It was sunny so the pictures aren't quite as good. I do think the color is pretty close though.This is Swingtown: From Iris and for some strange reason I just have a shot of the top of Superstition: From Iris . A very tall very light blue from my sis is blooming but it was too washed out in the sun to post. I will try to get one in the shade. BTW, I don't think I have every fertilized them....See Moreif you had 1 week of travel vacation to yourself ..
Comments (35)Way back before marriage and kids I took a month long vacation to Hawaii with a friend. I spent a week on Maui camping at beach parks and exploring the hiking trails. That was one of the best vacations ever!!! Now, I dream of doing a solo week long backpacking trip to the Cloud Peak Wilderness area of the Bighorns in Wyoming. If I'm going to pull that off it needs to be soon, before I can't hack it physically. Ron...See MoreWay too early but 2 of my daylilies opened today
Comments (10)Wasn't the weather crazy everywhere? I remember seeing your posting of all your water. And then you had freezing after that? Yikes! That was enough to take out some of your lilies. Sorry. Something we cannot control but surely gives up enough to complain about. I think the weather is why so many of mine bloomed in the foliage this year. Anyway, glad to see your season starting and your seedling does look good with that green throat. Kate...See Moresignet_gw(6b)

Didn't think it was worth starting a new post for only one bloom so thought I would add it here. Lava Flow is not a daylily color combo that I like however when you are seriously jones-ing for a daylily bloom you will accept anything
After all that rain we had in April and May , June is turning out to be extremely hot and dry . We are desperate for rain.
