Gardening

My hanging basket is quite happy, don't you think? I thought I would give you a tour of my *sprawling gardens* during the springtime. Feel free to put on your walking shoes, grab a sunhat, a cool glass of water or iced tea, and tiptoe to the....ranuculas, which were planted from bulb and quite happy be be free of the bag and placed in some viable dirt.
The paperwhites, too, were eager to stretch their limbs.
I had forgotten that I had gladiolus bulbs still in the soil, and their leaves were reminders of their excitement of the springtime arrival. I hope they will bloom for me!
A late amaryllis is trying to make an appearance, I am hoping it will be red. I have this bad habit of planting things and forgetting what they were.
These guys, though, are California golden poppys. I think. Hmmm. I hope so!


I put a dash of these seeds, and a dash of those seeds, and am pleasantly suprised when other plants, like the purple one, don't die. It's the little things in life, right?
Here you can see the tomato plants I have started. The 2 middle brown pots, for the life of me, I cannot remember what seeds went in there. Ah well. Another suprise.
Well, there you have it!
My sprawling garden. I hope you enjoyed the tour!

Feel free to rub some of that green thumb onto me. I kill plants. I'm a plant murderer.

I will have to come over and tip toe thru your lovely garden. You have your Mothers green thumb as well as Grandmother Barbara's and Grandpa D.'s green thumbs. Love Grandma D.

I am impressed! Growing from seed no less; I rarely can manage that trick. Good for you!
