A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Gardener's Chat Yard ~April 08~By request~ Sheri

Okay Sheri I took lots of pictures,, Because in order take full view you'd never see the flowers because I have to stand back sooooooo far to get a wide angle , I also took night pictures with the solar lights,, I will just give a link to photobucket there's too many pictures to post here,,

Very nice indeed!!! I really like the solar lights - what a nice atmosphere they create!

Diane: very Pretty yard !!! I love it.

Yes that's my front door,, I have change the album title three times,, But PB won't edit it for some reason,, When I went to my Friend Donnies house last year I took pictures,, But have since deleted it,, they were in the Gallery for a while,,, The sub album says diane yard april2008 but it doesn't show on the link,, , but YEP that's my house,, That view of the front door was the very reason I joined here in the first place,, The shade of the beds on both sides of the sidewalk , I asked about growing plants in the shade was my first few postings on here,, I've posted that same pictures several times,, Just can't change the name on the album tho,,

such a beautiful garden Diane!!!

Looks nice Diane. One can NEVER have too many solar lights....I have so many that I keep the neighborhood lit up at night. They add so much to the garden in the evening.

Loz I have More lights I want to put out side But I have to slip them out one at a time,, We have a municipal airport 4 blocks away Dwights says I'm going to have them landing in the back yard if I keep putting blue lights out there as their lights on their landing strip is blue too ,, they fly so low coming in I can see the pilots,, Dwight just doesn't want to be able to shake their hand,

this is my favorite, what is the name?



I like the solar lights too. I was looking at them on the link dodge posted. I may just have to order 3 or 10.

Your yard is very well manicured. All the weeds are at my house I guess.

Thanks Sheri Those are called White soprano Osteospermum I love those too Since that picture I have cut them back 1/3 and they are budding up again for a second flush of blooms,!( I've had them about a month now)

I love those solar balls,, I bought some really cheap plastic margarita glasses and stuck them in the ground and the balls fit right in it!!

so those white soprano reseed? I'm going to look online.

I remember you got some solar lights on sale. Do yours have an on and off switch?

Wow, everything is just so pretty. I can't imagine how it looks in real life. It must be so colourful and cheery when you step outside and look around.

Yes they reseed here Sheri,, I'll save you seeds okay?? and Yep there is an on /off on the solar balls,, I always leave mine on,,

Thanks Tamara,, it a nice relaxing place to be in the morning and evening,, in the afternoon the sun is full blast there.

how can you turn off solar?

Do you think if I ordered seeds they'd bloom this year?

There is a button on the bottom of the solar ball Sheri,~ I don't know if they'd bloom this year by seeds,, The sooner you start the better chance they'd have to bloom by the end of summer and early fall but at least you'd have blooms and seeds for next spring too!!

What's this plant here - hanging over the pot?

I enjoyed those pictures - thanks for linking to them.

very nice, I enjoyed them too, been outside weed eatting, needed to mow but just too tired

I guess my ? should have been is WHY would you want to turn off solar lights.
