Triss and Sybil thanks!!! It's near 80 degrees out and I sooooo want to plant seeds But I think this warm weather is a teaser!! and will probably get one more hard cold before spring. According to Farmer Almanac our last day of Frost is around the 23rd of March

I going thru my seeds this week end and Organize to see what I can plant now! Hope fully There will be some!!!

Oh Joclyn I found the seeds you sent!!!

That looks so pretty Diane!!! I love it and well done!!!!!!

Portulaca is heat and drought tolerant and comes in all sorts of pretty colors

right, wrennie!! it stays in flower virtually all summer and it will look really nice as it drapes over the rocks, too!!

that sounds so pretty! cant wait to see it this summer!

Jocylyn I'm planting your seeds today!!!! I found some seeds baby blue eyes and iceplants I think Dodge sent me I'm starting those too!!!


Sybil : I hope everything( seeds) take off and gives me a cool display of flowers * keeping my fingers crossed!!!

i think the combo of the three items will look really nice!!

can't wait for pics!

I'll keep posting the progress I did indeed plant the seeds we're expecting terrific weather this week !!!

Okay I finally located the label that came with the plant I potted up in the clay pitcher at the top of the rock pile it is..

euphorbia myrsinites also known as donkey tail spurge. Here a link to it.I have two of these clay pitchers and put these plants in each.

wow those are cool lookin!

Sibyl~~~~~~~~From what I've read they are easy to start,, Let me know if you want some starts

That will look so pretty Diane!!!!

Thanks Penny!

That donkey tail spurge is a really cool plant. Another one I had last year planted into a pile of rocks is creeping wire vine. I LOVE it. It isn't invasive, but grows like crazy and is a little different than the sedums. Another idea would be some hens and chicks. I had some that hung over a foot off the edge of a big pot, it was really cool. There is a picture of the wire vine on my post "my pictures from last summer", if you want to check it out.

diane i would love starts!!!!

Those sound like some great suggestions too, some of them i havent heard of, like the donkey tail...gonna have to check that one out!!

Any new pictures Diane>???

NOt yet Penny I'm Waiting for this cold snap to get over with ~~ Shoot!! I already planted seeds Getting anxious
:rolleyes: I suppose I may have to put a sheet over the pile tonight and tomarrow night Because I have teeny tiny sprouts starting My yard is going to look like a junk yard with all the boxes and sheets jugs and pots turn upside down BUT if that's what it takes to save all the new sprouts and buds I gotta do what I gotta do!

Exactly.....all in the name of beauty
Love to see some more when you have them,!!

i think all our gardens look like that at one point or another! last spring i had newspaper all over my yard to protcet the seedlings from a late frost, and g-bags over some in fall to protect em so i could get seeds gotta do whatcha gotta do!

i second that penny! i love to see more pics! just wait till she gets her willys out! more room to party!

Teacher 37 ~~ I looked at your pictures I'm not sure which is the vine your talking about is it the one climbing the gate????

Ohhh Yeah Penny and Sybil the willys are getting upset cuz I did take teeny tiny willy out side and put him on the bridge already the other teeny tiny willy is hiding and I can't find him I don't think he wants to deal with the cold nights yet I uncovered everything today because it's near 60 today BUT tonight back to covering up-again Geeezzzz I wish this weather would make up my mind!!

thats not fair takin teeny tiny out and not the others!

i know this weather is messing with us! one day its like spring and the next its like winter!
