Solved a problem I had in planting this white azalea by the purple one...I planted in a drawer...no problem with the big rock now

 

my late blooming tulip

 

 

                                                    just some of my irises

 

 

 

my mom gave me some strawberry plants today

I planted them in Strawberry fields

in a bed of strawberry

 

 

I planted the other bag of onion sets today

I also planted the other Thai squash seeds as well

Hopefully they will do good in this spot

 

I do believe that my potato towers need some more covering

                                               My peas....doing good

Both of the girls are wanting on and I so need to get some things done.....
                                                                  so

Day 114...some rain today...

This morning we woke up to rain, so really no gardening today, unless we want to play in the mud...also expecting storms later today...possible storms that is...

Sad to say that I lost my Pink Lemonade blueberry plant that I got from Lowes and I also lost the golden raspberry plant as well, I saved my receipt and took both back...this morning..

 

I picked up this coral bell today...

Palace Purple Coral bell

 

this is where it will be planted beside the Hosta Anne in the upper portion of the angel garden

 

 

I dug up a start of mint and planted it in my toilet bowl...I planted a mum there last year and it didn't come back up...I guess the area where I have the toilet , in full sun the mum didn't like that area...so mint will be planted there ...I might add a marigold there as well

 

I have hostas , 2 different ones sprouting up here...hmm, I only planted one here last year, the variegated one..after they get alittle bigger I might have to move one of them elsewhere, I will wait and see.

 

I picked up this Asiatic lily as well as Lowes today

it was on clearance.

tiny skyline

 

don't look at the weeds, I haven't had a chance to weed here with all the rain and being busy from getting ready for girly girl to graduate high school

 

 

look what I found today digging in the mud

a old Sunkist bottle still intact...

I place it upside down in the cooler planter that I have

 

the late tulip bloomer...red in color

 

some of my irises, all of bloomed purple so far this year....

I know I have more then just purple

 

I picked up this rose bush to replace the medallion rose that I lost over the winter, I will be saving the receipt so if I loose a rose again I have them replace it or get another one...this one I picked up at Walmart  its called Gold Medal a Grandiflora rose...

I also picked up another golden showers climbing rose bush to replace the one I lost over the winter...all of the plants that I picked up today have been planted...

Walmart has a 1 year guarantee on their plants with receipt ,

From now on I will be saving all of my receipts when I get a perennial plant...I wished I had saved the receipt from the double pink hollyhock as they are still not sprouting up...even though they are planted and have been watching them....

the black hollyhocks are sprouting up...the astilbe that I planted is sprouting up...still waiting on the hosta that I got from Wal-mart to sprout up.

 

I will let you all go for now so

 

I hope you all

ENJOY!

 

 

Day 113...no frost last night....

Yes. I am so glad no frost last night...it is cooler today then it has been...The weather man stated last night that the frost was going to be further up north then I live so , I pot out of covering my plants last night...since he said we wouldn't have any frost....

 

just a few more pics of my irises

 

hubby found a 4-leaf clover yesterday

 

 

 

I got these yesterday, my early Mother`s day presents...

the first pic a pink lemonade blueberry

second pic a white azalea bush

 

 

I had to get another pink lemonade blueberry bush....don't you think

I do believe this one is dead...I will be taking it back to from where I got it at

 

The new pink blueberry bush is planted...

 

I went to dig up the spot where I want to plant the azalea ( White ) and I ran into a problem as of right now...a big rock...will try and get this dug up if I can...but not today

 

 

cleared away the little violets from around the golden euonymus

 

 

I don't know what this wild flower is but it has a home in the yellow/orange bed right now and I think it is very beautiful....

 

Well I hope you all

ENJOY!

 

 

day 112...expecting frost tonight...

Yes, that's right weatherman stated this morning that we might have frost tonight...yay, no really...so covering I will do tonight....I thought it was safe to plant a few things out....

 

these pics were actually taken last night as the storm rolled in....we got thunder, lightning and some rain...

Now on to the garden pic

 

just a look into the two fish aquarium I have set as greenhouses

 

I was going to plant these pepper plants out, but I think I will wait a few days...

now lets go outside...and see some changes

 

 

I did have these two fence things around the peonies, but I think my peas need something to vine up on...so now they are placed here...I need to figure out something else for my peonies...my grandmother always used string to tie hers up

 

I cant believe how big this strawberry bloom is

 

 

Here are the two garden figurines that I picked up, or rather got a local swap meet...didn't really to do that good on selling on what we took, but sold two packages of hollyhock seeds and bought these two with that money...

 

 

just another pic of the late bloom tulip

 

I do believe the black hollyhocks are starting to come up...the double pink ones are not

wish I would had saved my receipt and I would have taken them back

keep those receipts just in case the bulbs/whatever don't come up so you can take them back

 

 

 

the astilbe I planted last year...

 

Today is Earth day, so plant a tree, a plant, or just recycle something today

 

I hope you all

ENJOY!

 

 

 

Day 111....cool today....

That's right it is cool today...some place around here got frost...Thankfully we didn't ...I did think about covering all of my plants up last night, but didn't....

So with the weather being cool outside. thought I would work out in the garden....
I was going to work along the fence, but decided not to and to concentrate on the Picnic area...

 

A look on what I did today, this morning...

 

Moved the tin...raked

 

                                          I asked Hubby if he wanted to play with his chainsaw
                            and now both tree are gone....

 

so raking, digging...found a few rocks here

this is where the old chicken coop used to be

 

 

picked two packages of these yesterday at the local walmart

on clearance...good I went in to town or I wouldn't have any more onions to plant since hubby thought I needed to plant more of them

 

I got 1 package planted today, I know the row is crooked...

 

 

I planted these as well in the back of the row...

 

Here is how it looks

I planted okra ( never have grown), Asian eggplant ( something new , never grown it any eggplant), Thai Squash ( have never grown Thai squash either)

 

 

I thought the back need two flower pots, so I had those two pots and I put some dirt in them and planted two canna bulbs in them...in between I would like to put some kinda of grill ...to cook on, after all this area is called the picnic area...

I also would like to find a table of sorts as well for this area...I want a round one...

I worked on digging up and planting one side of this area today...

Hopefully I will be able to work on the other side tomorrow...

The other package of onions are to planted on the other side...so both sides will have onions and veggies planted...

I also dug up a peach tree start for down in blackberry fields area ..( the older tree produces very small fruit)...I planted the peach tree on the left side of the bigger pot...my thinking that maybe with another variety of peach maybe , just maybe I might get bigger peaches...and from what I understand on fruit trees is that you need at least 2 trees ( male and female  tree) to produce any fruit...so we shall see when these trees get bigger...the other peach trees I planted are loosing their leaves, but I tried pulling them up and cant pull them ...so hopefully they will survive

 

 

Now for the rest of my pics for the day

still garden related

 

 

raspberry getting ready to bloom

 

I do believe I soon will be having fresh broccoli

 

These irises were white last year....

don't know why they changed their color

 

late tulip bloomer

 

 

I have some gladiolus I got on clearance that I need to plant as well...

Camo girl has asked for a few to plant in her garden area...

We are getting ready to see girly girl graduate from high school and about ready to close that chapter of her life...in a few weeks and couple of months I will be mom to a college student...seems unreal

 

I think that is enough to post for today

so

 

I hope you all

ENJOY!
