More garden news.................

You need to keep me out of the garden centers. I went today to get some potting soil and plant foods. I came away with some more plants. I could not help it, really. I had no intent on doing that as I really did not need anymore. Actually no room. Well I did find room. I loved these pink things.

Along with those I got another Primrose because the others did well and are still blooming, and a Day lily. I think that was it. I went to Joannes because I had hoped that they would have some more garden ornaments but they really didn't. I did find a fairy that I took and put on Alex grave. I also got an ornament for the garden, each were 70% off so that was not so bad. I need to get back to Alex and take a couple of plants for her. Her Day Lily's have not yet bloomed.

Checking on the rest of the garden, it's all coming along. The one where I put the Carnations needs to be widened. Just enough for the white flowers to have more room.
I did get that one cleaned out at least. I like being able to do one garden at a time. Makes me feel I have accomplished something.
I sat outside and drank my coffee this morning

When I first went out this morning I took a picture of my dead tree with it's fungi. I like it. I want to make this into a Fairy tree, paint or put on windows and doors and make a fairy garden around it. I had hoped to get Gerry to make it a roof.

The back shade gardens are coming along. It's a pity it takes so long for Hosta to come up and fill in. I know there are a lot of them still small. So I won't plant more. I am putting the ones I have left into pots. They get so much bigger quicker in pots. I didn't get them all in yet but at least I do have the potting soil now.

Iris budding. Trouble is the sprinkler has broken some down. Sad because one was the pretty white one.

I checked on the new rose and it's doing OK so far and I was happy to see the Lavender may actually do OK there too.

The Herb garden, doing well. You know I will never use half of them haha but it's a nice garden.

Back out front, I got one plant in the pot because nothing is coming up in that one. Who ever ate the Hosta really did eat it all. I managed to get the Lily plot cleaned up and I am leaving the violets there. I found and cleaned one of the plate ornaments I found in the garage. Put that in the ground.
