Do any of yours bloom all summer?
I would love to steal off of them>>>>>>
And Cindys Rhody's.

I have some of the 'dew plants' they're like a ground cover right? mine came back but don't look nearly as good as your yet.

here's what I have blooming now.

my zinnias look very diffent than the one above.


only one bloom on the rock rose, although it looks like by tomorrow it will be covered with blooms again.


mexican heather


marigold in the garden

Very pretty.

Hey I've got dandelions starting to bloom

cricket, that azalea gets morning sun. I don't fertilize. Maybe yours get too much sun or are planted too deep.


Beautiful flowers.

my azalia gets no morning sun, then direct scalding sun from one or so on. probably need to move it. thanks.

My Flame azalea is almost in bloom.......Sometime I give it water with vinegar in it.........

It gets all day sun ..
However my new azalea is a flop......4 buds is all it has .. i am sad.

It is in part shade but gets morning sun..Now what?

O.K. spring has started here...

The daffy's are blooming:

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Tammy!! Those peach Daff's are awesome Girl!!!! and Now I'm jealous,, I can't get bleeding hearts to grow here for anything,,!

A few pics of this month's activity. Not the greatest pictures in the world. One-time use cameras aren't that good....nevermind that I'm an amateur photographer. :)

I'll have some more when I finish the roll and get them developed. :)

I have been "educated" on not only where to put these pics but how many to put. :) Thanks, Jiffymouse.

Rolls developed?????
man you need a digital......It just shoot and upload and your in business.

You've great flowers there ..

I love the Joseph's coat roses Kalar!

Josephs coat .
Question
Does it bloom of go to seed when it flowers?
I pinch that off.

Thanks. I'm kind of a newbie in the gardening thing. I love it though.

I was eyeing some digitals at Wal-Mart yesterday. There some are very inexpensive ones but I wonder if they're any good. I don't know anything about them. Can someone recommend one that's simple to operate and not terribly expensive?

I'm not sure I know what you mean? As I said, I'm a bit of a newbie about gardening and some of the terms. The petals fall off and leave just the brown stub which I pinch off. Does that answer your question? :) What would "go to seed" be like?

The Joseph's Coat is fun and interesting because each bud looks a little different in the colors when it opens and then as it matures. There may be a few that are very similar but there's always a slight different and in some cases a pretty big difference.

I Started with a Fujifilm.......5.2
It is a good starter camera, so is Kodak 5.2
Nikon might have a goodie too. 5.2

They introduce you to the Macro and that makes for nice flower.....I still use it for places.

One nice thing of the Fuji ......It has a cradle to charge the camera.
I ordered it online.(cradle) no buying batteries....I like that alot.

Now canon was expensive and not cheap.
Fuji is under $200.

I'm using a cheap 5.0 megapixel camera, works good enough for me, I got it for $50 on sale at a furniture store.

I love your roses, especially the joseph's coat!!

There you go .Kenny did it also.

DO you have a cradle with yours Ken to charge it?

How is life in your new home?

I like that idea of no batteries!!! Thanks bunches!!!

Wowee, the pics keep getting better and better.

I has batteries , but the charger is a cradle to recharge..
Mine is 3 years old.

I will see if I can find the cradle online to show you.

here is the cradle.. I paid 25 this one is only 14

camera .not sure if this is the very same.. Mine is 5.2 mega pixels.. This shows 5.1, but reads on the paragraph 5.2????????????

No cradle, plain old batteries.

Life's ok, same as old, just in a smaller different house. The yard is really bugging me, because I'm out about every day, and the lawn just doesn't grow, guess I should get out there less often

Is it clay soil?
We have lots of that, and put sod on it to grow grass.

Oh well couple more years and your off to college and be gettin your own piece of the county........

patience .........

blooming today





Remember the flower boxes? We finally got them up.

Excellent Sheri.........
flowers, planters ,Bird feeder and Photography......

Your doing great........

Keep the good work going...
So you get 2 maro off?

yup. no work tomorrow.

Have a wonderful day.
You should be able to get good bird photos from the Shepard hook feeder there.
That is what my hummers are hung on ......Nice blue feeder...

We just putter in the garden on Memorial day.. I been to all the cemetarys .
Today I took flowers to my sis and brother to plant.. peppers also.

looks great Sheri.

The flower boxes are so pretty!!!!

I have 2 of something similar mounted on the rail on my front porch. It's a very shady area and I'm at a loss as to what to put in them in this year. When I first put them up I put purple Ajuga in there hoping it would act like it does at my aunt's house and drape over the pot she has them in. So pretty, especially when the purple spikes shoot up. I "kept care of 'em" but they died anyway and never draped. sigh... Suggestions on something else or what I could do to keep the Ajuga doing its thing? I like the idea of something "drapey." :)

Very pretty lily and flower boxes, Sheri!

Here are a few things blooming in my yard today...

It's hard to get a good picture of the true blue on these Centaurea Montanas...


More of my clematis which is acting very strange - to the right you can see flowers with 6 and even 7 petals on them -
to the left is the normal 8 petaled one!


Some osteospermum I planted 2 days ago... they are more magenta than they look here.

Continued from above...

A lovely white tulip


And one of my favorite blue flowering plants - Salvia Black and Blue
It's very hard to come by here, but I found 2 small plants about 2 months ago here way before it was safe to plant outside, and have been nursing them along. They have been rewarding me with these blue flowers!

Lynne, your flowers are beautiful. I love the black and blue. We have that here and next year I'm tempted to plant the entire flower garden with it. It's beautiful alone and very striking when planted in bunches.

Very lovely collection..

Forget me nots:


Neighbour's hanging Basket:

Cindy...Hog away.

Everyones plants look so healthy.
