It is Growing!

Image
The summer has been a geat one so far. Everything is growing beautifully. A few mistakes, but that is bound to happen. So, what is growing now is the 2010 garden. Worked in the garden book this week-end, now it is time to repeat myself on the machine. So, here is Tamara Jo's list of what all is in "Paradise". Daylily and Sunflower Garden Down the length of the shed a lush row of daylilies that are about to bloom in a mysterious color. And in front of those I just seeded with a Wildflower Shade mix. And I have no idea what everything is just yet, but alot of flowers will be showing up this week. The mix included: Bachelor Buttons, Chinese For-Get-Me Nots, Baby Blue-Eyes, Sweet Rocket, Tick-Seed, Sweet William, Rocket Larkspur, Daisy Chrysanthemum, Godetia, Sweet Alyssum, Spured Snapdragon. Shirley Poppy, Common Foxglove, Garden Columbine. Now to let it all bloom! The corner is my favorite, that has Yellow Iris's, Yellow Evening Primrose, Nasturtiums, Orange and Red Cos

Ask me no Questions....

The weather has been fantastic. Hot days, we could use more rain, but every few days something falls from the sky,. And I always have the hose. I did a bit of re-arranging yesterday. I planted my three mints in the same containers as last year - was not supposed to! They where already root bound, so I yanked them out and put them in new homes. A friend  ? found ? two nice size plastic urns. I painted them a beige for now. Peppermint went in one, Apple in the other. My big orange pot had to many flowers in it, nothing was doing good. I ripped that apart and put my orange mint in it, the rest of the flowers went in the mint pots, and the gardens. I made allot of mistakes this year. Didn
