I'm thinking that Begonias are beautiful. : )
Sure wish that I could grow them. : (
I always manage to kill them. : (
Took photos of my hard work yesterday. Am sending one. These containers will be moved outside in the next day or so. I don't know if you can see them in this photo, but I also planted two window boxes as well as the milk containers. Tops are off because temps are in the 80's, outside!
Note: Milk jugs are easier to cut than apple jugs. The plastic is thinner on the milk jugs, go figure! Since I used a lot of them up, I need to go make more. : )
DH put the materials for the bottom watering trough where I can't reach them, so I'll have to wait for him to finish planting the Monterrey Pine Seedlings. Then he'll get them down for me. We plant the Pine seedlings now so that they can take advantage of the winter and if we are lucky, spring rains. We always give them a little straw blanket at the ground level, keep them warm, and wet and keeps the weeds from sprouting.
Next week or so DH has to start moving the bees up to the Almond Groves for pollination. Another cycle has begun.
