Hot day............

It got to 87 degrees today. Told ya. Goes from freezing to 90, no inbetween. Well, it's going down again next week into the 50s. I had to put the sprinklers on today. I went to Lowes because I needed some potting soil and I told Tristen I would get more sand. I like the new spot that his sand is. He seems to like it too, at least he plays with it now. Yesterday I spend a lot of the day planting flowers in pots. No matter if I was inside or out I had my little band of faithful followers.

Brea stayed in the house while the cat snoozed on the deck

I have bought quite a few plants. I didn't mean to. I also did not mean to get more today, except that I had to go get some more potting soil. SO I bought this beautiful rose. Some Lavender and a few other things along with some pots. I really must NOT go back.


I now have another bunch of plants to plant. Isn't this a pretty daisy. I couldn't resist

I still had some Hosta that did not get planted last year but they are just coming through. I got two more. This area is one I am working on at the moment. I had cut those junipers back and its rather bald out there. SO.....I found an old piece of trellis to fill the gap and put some old bird houses by it. I am going to have to dig up a lot of violets so I am thinking of putting them there and under the pines out front. I am wondering if some Hosta would survive in that spot because a lot of snow gets piled there. Maybe I should just pot them and put them there instead of in the ground. A work in progress

I bought two Boston Ferns, one for the deck and one to fill in a gap to the shade garden.


Everything will look better when the leaves are fully out. Right now everything is very open. I need some more shrubs in the very back to cover the fence lines. The ivy back there was damaged a lot during this past winter.

It's nice to have a few thing to share for a change. I will leave the rest for another day.
