Gardening, anyone?

It's been amazing how long the pansies have lasted but a snow storm is coming

I planted multi color carrots and the greens got to be about 18 inch high. They were starting to pop out of the ground so I pulled a couple of the more colorful ones. They look deformed! What happend?

Those birds are really fluffed up trying to stay warm. Good shot.

This is our state bird, the roadrunner

In action road runners look just like the cartoons. I had never seen one up close.

Jazzy,

I saw your post on the (how about drinking?) thread. You gave he/she the nickname Rocky the roadrunner. Cute!

I still start many plants like the following by rooted leaf cuttings from old pink african violet passed down from Mom.

Daughter will love the blooms that appear to be dipped in sugar when sparkling in the sunshine.

She'll also like the frog plant dish.

Might have to do with the soil. We have to dig deep and add sand to the mix to grow them here. Maybe they're hitting a piece of clay and growing around it.

We ended up with 11 inches of snow.

Snow is melting

I’ve had those birds in my yard a couple of times.

Does the early bird catch the worm?

Husband gave me a bouquet of daffodils!

I love their earthy smell.

Jazzy,

I would like to smell the lovely blooms!

My crocuses are peeking through the soil.
