Gardening, anyone?

Thanks, Lori, for the good wishes on our baby - and for the info on the Burpees catalog! I had no idea it was still available, so I went to the website and ordered one for next year (this year's is sold out). My face got red when I saw that they are located in Pennsylvania; so much for thinking it was a southern company!

Give Bob a big pat on the head for me. My house cat and companion, Hobbes, is huge (18 pounds), but he runs in terror every time the little raccoon even chirps.

Yes, they like to get into stuff. I have the galvanized trash cans that I keep all critter food in, they can get the lids off with no problems! I put a cement block on it until it stops raining enough to fix it properly!

Hi folks- it has cooled down again and more rain this week (a good thing) and more pics for you too!

Rock purlane with other misc. ground cover flowers. Purlane starting blooming again!

Ice plant in bloom

Beautiful Jazzy! I love them all. I bet they regretted planting it along the freeway. Did they get rid of it or everyone just have to put up with it?

Beautiful plants Jazzy a nice variety .

Beautiful hydrangeas Scottie, I love them

I spent the day out in the garden weeding and getting the last of my garden fence up. Tomorrow I'll plant the rest of my tomato, pepper and vine plants. My corn and okra are poking up out of the ground. I hope I can keep the raccons away from my garden by giving them corn on the deck instead of on the cob! lol

I also got the pool cover off, the pump hooked up and topping the water off. I'll get the pump running and the baraccuda working so the pool will be ready for when my kids and grandkids get here in July. All my grandchildren are water babies. With my surgery in 4 weeks I don't think I will get any swimming in while they are here but who knows?

Beautiful roses! My roses didn't make it thru the very mild winter for some reason so I'll need to replace them soon.

Scottie- fabulous hydrangeas. We are behind you here.

Meow- your roses look sooooo healthy! Just beautiful.

Planted out some tomatoes, lettuces, broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Here in coastal OR we can grow these cool loving vegetables almost all year round.

My roses are not looking great. I managed a bouquet today but new foliage is not looking good. The blooms are very fragrant though.

Here is today's pick, with some verbena bonarienses and catmint

Beautiful Jackbirdie! I love fresh picked flowers 🌼🌸

Jackbirdie. . .Lovely flower arrangement. I need to cut some of my hydrangeas and make one. I'm not handy with arrangements. Much better designing stuff on the computer.

We had deer problems last year. They ate my new hostas and stripped my blueberry bushes. Dh got a pest repellent spray from Home Depot. No more deer, no raccoons in the pond, no little rabbits, no geese on my grass and the beavers stayed away from my giants hydrangeas and crape myrtles this year. They bypassed our yard and went after everyone elses. We're on a lake where we can't fence the yard so only option.

Scottie

Lovely!

oh wow Meow. Georgous.

Meow beautiful roses, your rose bush looks like a small tree.

Two interesting things I found at Lowe's last week, a tiny padhye asian lily and a bluebell flower.

Jazzy lovely lily, I have grown bluebells before, but not as nice as yours. We had had four days of cold rainy weather, covered all my bedding plants.i find the cold winds kills my sweet potato vines.
