A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffee House 2652..

All fresh and new.

My raking is done, my yard is cleaned up...now to wait out the time until planting. The hummers should be flying in, in another week as well.

YAY for You !!!

My hummers are supposed to be here, but I have not seen them. I do have food out though.

I am making nectar at the moment.

I hope yiu have better luck than I am having.

They usually only arrive around May16 here but just in case some are early, I want to be prepared....nothing is in bloom here except for a few daffodils. I dug up and divided some coneflowers and rudbeckia's today.

I am trying real hard to keep the coreopsis and coneflowers that I planted new this year alive. So far so good, but the summer is long.

Your hummingbirds are lucky birdies.

I guess those perennials like cooler weather because they thrive here. I have no luck with a lot of the other kinds though but I bet they thrive in your heat.

It is cold and cloudy here today.

It may be the warmer weather or my terrible soil. Or both. LOL. Luckily the plants that I brought from my dad's before we sold their house are thriving.

I do not have many places to have flowers, so it could be worse.

You need more pretty pots then.

Still waiting for the garden centers to open here.

We've had a lot of rain lately and everything is thriving. Would be lovely if August would be like this. The baby blue birds and baby house wrens have flown the coop and are hanging around the yard. Wish I could figure out how to share pictures.

Sunny can. See if she can help you.

We have been predicted to get storms with heavy rains, but so far in all of it we have gotten a bit less than 2 inches. However my blackberries are thrilled.

Click on 'use full editor', when you get to that page then click on 'attachment manager', then click on 'select a file to attach'. Choose your file, then click on 'done'...your picture then uploads to your post.

I divided up and moved some wild geraniums to my ditch. It is too steep to mow now, I have been adding what I can...to hopefully have a ditch full of flowers instead of weeds.

I've done all that Sunny. I used to be able to post them so I don't know what's changed. I keep getting an error that says I haven't fully filled out the post but if I try to add anything I get a error saying "post already submitted" and I can't do anything else.

I had so much fun at my granddaughters wedding that I want to do it again. We all danced until we couldn't dance anymore. AND Colt was in town for the wedding so that was added happiness for me. He's grown 2 inches since he was here in December!!!!! Does not get that from me

Thanks for trying Sunny. Even I may be able to post photos now......thanks

Again, Congratulations on your Granddaughter's wedding, Sheri. growing boys....that is something they do A LOT it seems. my grandson could not reach the chips that I keep on the top of my fridge last September. But now he can.... I am so glad I did not have boys to dress or feed back in the day.

Time is moving on isn't it? It is hard to believe that your grands have grown that old, Bestofour.

It is a beautiful day today, too bad they are calling for below freezing temps tonight.

Sorry for that sad forecast, Sunny. But I am thinking if it does come, it should not last long, right ??

Time...yes it moves on. I "know" I am no older, so I have no idea how all these "kids" are getting older.

That weather is normal here, the frost was so thick this morning that it looked like snow. We had a great show of the Northern lights the past two days...it is an amazing phenomenon.

Happy Mother's Day everyone.

I didn't get to see it night before last, and then last night I looked too late. But people posted pictures so I got to see them.

Happy Mother's Day, everyone!!

Our weather has been lovely too and we had a great day all the way around here.

If I ever can get pictures to post I'll show you my mothers swing a friend hung from a tree for me last week out in the back. It's so nice and peaceful.

I have tiny squash and tiny tomatoes!!!!

Thanks about the photos.

YAY for new veggies, even if they are tiny. They will grow after all. I am glad that you had a good day, so did I.

First we went to church with my DD and her children. Then she made us a nice lunch complete with dessert.
Then she spoiled me with the nicest gifts. One was a plant called " Chain of Frogs" ( it looks like tiny tiny ivy leaves). It is ever so cute.

Then Rod and I came home so that my SIL could go visit with his mom. We did manage to find a funny retro movie to watch, so that was fun.

Good morning !

What funny retro movie did you find? On Netflix or where did you find it. There seems to be nothing on TV anymore.

I took at 2 hour nap yesterday. With Shelley's birthday, work, wedding, rehearsal dinner, mother's day, evidentially I was exhausted cuz I slept like a log last night too.

It was.on FreeVee. It was "Bad Grandmas"
It was kinda slow at first, but once I saw nothing gorey was gonna happen, it was kinda funny.

I am back....and I'm going to throw this laptop out the window the next time it quits working.

Oh please do not do that. We/I would miss you.

Good night

It is raining very hard out there, it must know I have to be out today running errands.

LOL yep....the weather does that. You be very careful when out. There is all the other people in the area out driving that one has to watch.

It is supposed to rain/storm here today..this afternoon/ evening. Mind you it is still/ sunny and warm right now.

I got the errands done, tomorrow is supposed to be a very nice day....I'll be out prepping my new strawberry bed.

I've tried posting pictures on my desktop, ipad, and iphone and have changed the size to thumbnail clickable size and I still get the message saying my post has already been submitted and can't be submitted again. Oh well.

We're supposed to get lots of rain tomorrow and Sunday but that has been the norm lately.

I am so sorry Sheri. I would love to see your photos.

Sorry Bestofour, I am at a loss of why it will not work for you.

We are having a sunny day here, I'll be enjoying it with some outdoor chores.

Happy Saturday to you all.
