Ma spring bulbs are poking....
Guess Im gonna gather some sticks and far wood today. Did the last of the burnt offerings yesterday so need to stoak the pit again.
THE GPS 9 - The Glorified Potting Shed
I gotta take a pix of this creeping veronica that's in full bloom right now...it's gore-G-us
Well, hurry back, im taking out the garbage. Be about the only think I can do in the GPS today. Make a wee bit of room for whenit warms up more.
Been thinking on uncovering the roses.
I went to take that picture but they weren't open. Shooting for picture taking today...giant crocus have been open and there's a cute little hoop skirt jonquil/daffodil on the verge of opening.All the Tete'Tetes and Jetfire are open.
Gotta clean my new iris bed and plant some pansies or violas at their feet...mow...rake...weed...play in the dirt before that rain moves in. Doesn't look like rain this am...sky clear,stars twinkling but we have that "wait a minute" weather so it could change at any time now.....hope it misses us though.
Awwww man, no bulbs open here.
I found my hand claw to clean off the strawberries, but now I need my hand shovel..
I have one iris in a pot, need to kick it out to the patio.
Need to sow the pansys
do chicken poo
im dodging raindrips...its hazy, warm and dripping. Sun is trying to poke through tho.
Have you done any verbena borenensis this year? If you got some I would be intersted
finally got a picture of the creeping veronica but picture does not show the true BRILLIANT blue the blooms are. I just planted it last year from a deep 4" perennial pot and it has grown to apx. 12"x18-24" and just smothered in blooms.
I generally like to take pictures on cloudy days so I don't get glare off the lighter colors and colors are richer but the veronica doesn't open on cloudy days.

Hi , again
I have been lurking
Just wanted you to know I really like the GPS
IT helps me to know when to plant things when I see someone in the same zone doing the garden thing.^_^
This has inspired me to do a garden journal (of sorts)
called Life in the garden.
Just wanted you to know YOU are the source of inspiration.
Thanks
Cinda
PS. Frost here this AM too.
Hi Gus, sorry I have not been updating it regular...been having some health issues so I have been doing what I can. Things just have not been back to normal yet. Course at our house nothing is normal. You would think I would be used to that! LOL!
Anyway, glad to hear from you!
I am happy to hear that it makes a difference in someone life!
Now mind you, I dont make rocket science out of gardening. That takes all the fun out of it, but we do have fun. I fopr one am happy when someone can hone in though and say hey looky here, heres an idea.. give it a go!
That thatr is an awesome butterfly pic my dear!
Keep us posted on what your up to here too!
I still have Dave's as my home page and hang out in the herbs and cottage garden forums ...but who has time in the spring to do much else. This extra hot April has me running around trying to catch up everything is on fast forward.We look to be 2 weeks earl here.
I for one am glad it cooled down...don't like frost but cooler days are easier to work in.
The picture is my son's creation , it is my avatar on the other site.
Well, that is waaay coool! Good job.
Catchup.. that seems to be the story of the days of our lives....
My loofa germed today! YEAH!
Well, did some coleus, impatien, hypoestes, spirea cuttings. Cleaned out the baby sunroses to the porch.
Put the spider plants back on the front porch...gonna try that again.. hoping it does not get so cold like before.
Updated a few of my lists.
Watered indoors, rained about an inch outdoors.
Need to plant a few more veggies.
Sowed some zukinees!
Are you ready for a frost?
Predictions for tonight and tomorrow night.
Lucky I have a ton of extra large black pots and most things are still small.
I put remay over my peonys they are showing color already .
Awwww crap! (Can I say that on the air???!)
Gus, we got the frost...it looked wide spread.. hows bayou?
Yep lots of white here , won't know if there is damage till it burns off.
Had bad dreams about mushy plants last night ( I am weird that way)
Just in from looking ...looks bad...lilies were up too high to cover and now they are drooping.
Some iris were blooming already and others were showing ..can't tell how they will do??
Went out to hose things off ...hose froze...not good
When it frosts,the best time to hose is before sun up....hate to tell you that my friend, but I learned that the hard way too.
About all I am worried on is my taters.. what is is...will know later.
Well, I broke down and got some pepper plants, tomaotes and some cucumber starters from Leo....I have seed starting, but the germ looked poor, then I lost my hothouse climber maters seed to the mice. UGH!
Popping in to say "Hi" before I'm off to farmers market.
Here's some color for those of you not yet getting full effects of spring.
PURDY!!
Lurking out the GPS door... my lilacs...they were awesome this year!
Had some stiff winds these last few days....
Grannie sent me some Reserection lilies and some liriope. Need to pot those up
Put the rest of the gomphrena seed to the cutting garden.
Iris Minnesota Mixed-up Kid
GIIMME! LOL! Very nice red...
Just getting out to the GPS... need to water. some of my stuff looks puny.
Loofas are looking great.. just gotta prepare the bed yet for them.
I have some pansys I gotta dig.. dang bunies are having a field day. Jeez, with everything to eat here, they gotta pick on a pansy.
Dont know what I will get done here today.
speaking of pansies...Velour Frosted Chocolate....I am NOT impressed
LOL! Yeah, give it to the bunnies red... its not to impressive!
Heres impressive!
Well, ok, maybe not, but...
Eh, she needs a pruning.. c'mon up and we shear her!
Speaking of shears.. this one had a run in with the mwaur...bless his sorry soul. I ruin more snakes that way... cant help it, grass long.
On that poor lil baby! Now had it been a poisnous snake I would have cheered.
Peony that just finished blooming
