Netties is Virginia Spiderwort Hmm Mine is Motherwort? No kidding///Yes there is a plant Id forum and I should have expanded my use and used it... your just all so smart and dependable and familiar...I resist . THat is so funny Jan....I Planted Motherwort seeds nothing anywhere where I planted them over a year ago....LoL its growing wild all over the property. Now I have to go research. Thank You Jan. Keep up the computer skills your doing great and on more than one thread at a time....you go girl!!

and look at this little pretty!!

whoops sorry....

Loca - I planted the sunflowers initially for the wildlife, but the tallest sunflower is now 17 FT and I'd like to save the seeds from that one for planting... just hope I get to them before the birds do...lol

Cue, make a baggie out of net- like you use for brides veil, and cover the flower seed part so birds can't pull the seeds out. That way the flower still gets sun and you can still see it and the birds will have to dine elsewhere.

Arejay, I gave up and went to Plant ID forum, I'm not smart enought to remember most plant names.LOL But I figured if we find out it's name this year, best to get help.
What is so weird Arejay, I have those around here growing volunteer everywhere and remembered seeing it, but had no idea what it was. So I wanted to know as well.

Well, Kaylee will be here shortly so got to go clean a little. Nothing gets done after she arrives.
I am working on my computer skills. I see you managed to post the 3 pictures on one post elsewhere !?! LOL
One day I will too. I tried half the night. I can get three boxes to show but no picture in the box. Back to the drawing board.

ok this clem is in the end of bog garden

the last clem picture is a repeat bloomer blooms off and on all season long the color is not bad either. nettie

Nettie those are just beautiful! You really take good care of your gardens and the plants show it. They seem to just show off for you. Thumbs up!!!

Does anyone know the link to go back to where Mitt was showing his Irises and we were planning to go Iris napp some while he was sleeping? I need to go back there and look at something and don't know how to find it.

Hi Everyone!
I just wanted to pop on and share some good news with you.. Today Courtney and I went to a recording studio and recorded a 2 song demo cd! She is sending it to the Carl Perkins Child Abuse Center in Jackson, Tn and if the board likes her, they will ask her to sing for their televised telethon in August! Carl Perkins keyboard player saw her perform at open mic and hooked her up with the people there. She did "I Told You So" and "When Love and Hate Collide" .. It was an amazing afternoon..
Some other awesome news about Courtney.. We just found out that American Idol lowered the age to 15! She turns 15 on July 7th and they are doing the first auditions in Nashville from the 15-17th of July! We already got our room booked and we are going!! I cannot wait! I will keep everyone posted on how everything is going. I have been busy with that and trying to get her videos organized and new ones uploaded to YouTube. I guess I am now her official YouTube manager so she says! I really just wanna be her road groupie mom/hair & makeup stylist! I am really enjoying this, can you tell? ;-)

Sandi, I haven't sent you your prize pot from Silver Bullet & me, but I promise it will be worth the wait.. I will get it out for you this coming Monday. I have a couple of noids that popped up in my yard that I might ask you guys about tomorrow. Til then, goodnight and seeyatamarra!

Yeah Mechelle! That is awesome news about Courtney. Tell her I said "you go girl"!!

WooHoo!!! Congrats Courtney!! We love you!! We all want to be groupies for her, lol! Can't wait to see her on the road touring the whole country, Mechelle! We will all be out listening to her sing in our areas, ;-)
Mechelle, it's good that you haven't sent yet, as it turns out, as I have to be gone alot over the next couple of days, and I wouldn't have a lot of time to tend to them! Timing is much better for next week! Thanks!!

YEAH!!!! Courtney and Mechelle!!!!

YE-HA!!! WAY TO GO !!! Congratulations Mechelle and Courtney. Can't wait to hear her on American Idol. I know she will do good. You tell her, I got faith in her and don't sweat it, It will be fun and GOOD! WOO-HOO!!!!!
On the road again, just can't wait to go on the road again, making music with my friends and then,
touring all the things to see, just can't wait to go on the road with Mechelle and Courtney.
Woo-Hoo!!!!! I'm ready!

Hi All.. Nettie your gardens are beautiful.. Mechelle, we are all excited for you and Courtney..Just be sure to keep us informed so we dont miss an episode..Its my DH favorite show.. Would be nice to feel a connection to someone there singing, I sure feel like she could win it..It wont be easy tho and its alot of work and time away from home..All worth it in the end tho even if she ends up in the top 10, they tour and do concerts.. Would be such a nice way to get her start..

The temps are over 100 here and the humidty is high and the soil is dry dust.. You cant water and make a mud hole for over 5 minutes.. The ground just drinks it up..Im having to water daily and for potted plants 2 times daily..

Heres a contest happening in the brug forum.. Guess how many seeds in the pod..

Good Morning! Thank you guys for all of your support! Even if she doesn't win Amer Idol, I think every bit she does just adds to her experience and confidence. She has come such a long way and I just hope all her dreams come true. Here is the link to a new video I added a couple days ago. One of my favorites. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckdoLfI72YA

We're off tripping again, this time driving into the Adirondack mountains to a little cabin in the woods. Wife's last day of school so we're leaving this afternoon, back next Thursday or Friday. Maybe get away from some of this heat and humidity. Garden is growing great though.

Al

Have fun n your trip, Al. Lucky you!

Nettie, pretty Lily pics..

I had 3 hibiscus blooms today. Gotta get them sprayed before the bugs completely do them in..

Like this color a lot

Caught a little bee poking his head out..

This daylily I had marked as "Olive Bailey Langdon" but turns out thats not what it is. I think this one is cool but don't know the cultivar..

Does anyone know what this is? It has pretty little red flowers but has leaves like La. Iris. It just popped up out of nowhere and I have never seen it. I will put on Plant ID but thought I'd check with you guys first.

One more Noid.. Same thing as the last one. has leaves like La. Iris with this flower. Anyone know what it is?

Last one ;-) My Hollyhock bloomed finally. This is the one I got from the nursery for $1. It's like 5 ft tall already and I don't know if you can tell from the picture but it's a pale yellow color. Gonna go take a nap for a while.. Not feeling good today. See you all later ;-)

Pretty blooms Mechelle... That red one looks like it might be some kind of Crocosmia? The other one looks like some kind of Lily maybe?

Maybe mekos or RRM will know for sure...
