I got some flower seeds from Jane a while back (while meaning maybe 3-4 years..)...only thing was, that year was the year of a
torrential rainy season for about 3 weeks and none of them survived. Poor little bluebells, they all
washed under the fence to the neighbor's yard and got mowed into oblivion when
they presumed to stick their flowery heads above ground.
I have daffodil and tulip bulbs to plant..bought them
last month so I will be fine with just those - for the time being. But I really love my
pink/salmon iris and when I separate them I'll share them with a couple of friends. I lost most of them a couple
of years ago when the oil tank had to be replaced but they are starting to crowd
up again.
I also have the day lilies if you want some. They grow great cause I
"stole" them one night on the way home from "work" from a site that was being
bull-dozed the next day. Must hae been a hoot to see me in high heels and skirt
on the side of the road with my shovel digging up "weeds" in the semi-dark.
We're going to visit my son later this week and then to his
"co-op" garden place and I'm getting at least 6 tomato plants and 3-4 peppers
and whatever else they have that strikes my fancy. He and his girlfriend signed up for
a 1/2 membership in the co-op so they get fruit and vegetable distributions from the "city
farm" that the coop runs on some vacant grown and from fruit trees in their
green house area - once every two weeks a box of fresh fruit from next week
til mid-November. That's my idea of "farming" so next year I might talk my husband into a half membership and we can use that as an excuse to see "the kids" when we're in the area.... wonder if that will work?? Probably not, the son is on to me..
This spring my azaleas have been prolific
See those green wavy spiky things in picture #2 right above this? that's my day liles aka Tiger Lilies or Philadelphia Lilies waiting to explode with some hot sunny weather...
. Next time we can tour the back gardens of my palatial estate...
