Day 119.......busy day today...

I had a very busy day today, first I got my hair done then was home for about a hour and then went to say my goodbyes to a Aunt...she will be greatly missed...

Here are my pic for the day




on the way to town I seen a plant sale sign so I opt to stop on the way back home....The lady usually has a plant sale once a year...these jumped into my car...a golden raspberry bush, a Blackberry lily, and a mother of thousands plant....I seen something else I might just have to back to the sale to see what else can jump into my car




Just a few pics of some irises I have blooming right now....These are for my Aunt Dee.....I will miss her ...best lemon meringue pie and best seamstress.

 
A few of my roses have bloom buds on them
It has been an exhausting day
so
 
I hope you all
ENJOY!

Day 118....windy today,cloudy...

It is overcast today and windy and its cold wind, but still managed to get out in the garden to work some....I planted a tiger lily, sunflower seeds and moved some things around that were in pots already to sell


 A neighbor gave me this heart shaped leaf of a cactus, I believe it is a prickly pear cactus...they found it mushroom hunting...


                                              Just a scenic view of the clouds

 
Jalapeno peppers getting ready to plant


                                                       Camo girls foxglove all in bloom

 
Don't know if you can tell it but the cuttings I took last year from a double pink Rose of Sharon ...they have some green on them....
I was beginning to wonder about them...
I know it will be a while before they bloom
 
 
My black hollyhock
just planted this year

 
Astilbe , just planted this this year as well


                                          I think this is spiderwort, pink flowers


                                       Still don't know what kind of tree/shrub this is

 
 
My yellow hollyhocks they should bloom this year...will find out for sure if they are yellow this year
Since I got it them at Wal-mart...A neighbor who has daylily don't trust Wal-Mart on their color of the plants they sell...so we shall see if these are indeed yellow...
 
I also replanted some tomato plants this morning and planted more rose of Sharon starts
 
Well I need to go fix Camo girl something to eat...
 
so I hope you all
ENJOY!

Day 116...a little cool today...

It is a little cool this morning on the farm..so off to work in the garden this am....


                                           Some Beefsteak tomato plants..

 
letting the inside plants be outside today

 
Heard a squirrel..
 


                                                 A friend got his turkey today


 
Dug these irises today....
 
 
big pile of them

 
The bed now...
 
 
This iris bloomed a deep red last year...
 
 
Here is what it look like last year
 


                                       Weeded in this area of the garden today...strawberry fields


                                          Found a few Rose of Sharon seedlings...these will be purple
                                  I will let them grow a little bit more then I will be potting them up

 
Since I was working in the Strawberry fields
I dug up the tulips and a few Easter Lillies to be planted later in the year
somewhere else

 
I moved this rose bush...
 
 
I am hoping it does better in full sun then it was doing... I know it still has some green on it...but it has not leaves...so maybe it will soon get leaves in this spot
 

                                I seen this rose bush growing...I dug this one up last year

 
I guess I didn't get all of it...this is the one I dug up last year...
 
 
This is where I put it at for now...hopefully it will do good...I might leave it here ...but this is a shady spot, it get morning sun and that is about it...
 
I hope you all
ENJOY!
