Yep, just couldn't stand it any longer. I had to find out if the garden centers had anything besides Pansies, Cyclamen and Petunias yet. No, they really didn't have much more than those but Lowe's is expecting their first plant shipment one day next week!!! Had to get these red Petunias, all I have out front are purple so these should look good with them. ( photo / image / picture from toni's Garden ) Postrate Rosemary ( photo / image / picture from toni's Garden ) Figured I would try potatoes again. ( photo / image / picture from toni's Garden ) Starting from the left, bright red, deep purple, bright yellow and possibly a light yellow too early in the bud to tell. But I will take another photo as they open up. Ranunculus ( photo / image / picture from toni's Garden ) Holly represents December, the birth month of my oldest grandson and I am trying to have plants from birthmonths of my immediate family. Sky Pencil Holly ( photo / image / picture from toni's Garden ) I have collected hanging baskets the last few months to grow Strawberries in. Gonna get some netting to cover them so the birds don't get to eat them before we do. ( photo / image / picture from toni's Garden ) The Lilies I have had in the ground for several years really suffered the last two years with the drought. I am not sure they will come back so I finally found some replacements. ( photo / image / picture from toni's Garden ) Anxiously awaiting the new shipment next week.
My first flower bed in 1979 or 80 was a long row of deep purple Petunias. They did incredible and the fragrance was intense. After that, I decided flower beds with annuals were not my thing and moved on to perennials.
Oh boy! You have been busy, eh Toni? What a neat idea to have plants that have a relation to family members. That adds another level of enjoyment to gardening. Nice Rosemary plant. I have that one myself and we have it handy for cooking. It has not gotten very big because we use the leaves in cooking so often.
I can't believe you can buy flowers already It will be late April or May before we even have any in the stores
Toni the Enabler at it again! I promised myself I'd be patient this year... oh wait... I already purchased/potted some bare root plants! It won't hurt to just stop by a couple nurseries just to see what they have... right? :-o
Oh boy Toni you did well with that lot didn't you? I've not bought any plants, so far, this year. My bulbs, that I got last Autumn, have all begun to sprout though so it won't be long until I hit the garden centres. :-D
That's fantastic Toni! I won't see any plants for sale here for months yet. But today on my shopping trip I am going to pick up some potting soil and re-pot a bunch of my indoor plants. That's the closest thing I can do to gardening right now ... big winter storm currently blowing into Ontario. We should have 25cm of new snow by morning
