I worry about which pot the chipmunks are going to dig in. They are worse than the birds for me.

Suzy, my mind is so tired I can't figure out the dew point/freezing point whatever and why either! I had that in chemistry too...

I got busy and haven't been able to transplant a thing or get online. How is everyone doing? I'm hoping to transplant a few as soon as I get off the computer...all I need is some ENERGY!

On my way home today I stopped at a garden center ~ I bought a wooley thyme plant. For people who like blues, I saw Brunnera which I loved. The blooms are blue and small like forget-me-knots and the leaves are really pretty heart shaped and variegated. I added it to my wish list :)

I also saw heuchera garden angel which was a burgundy leaf with a silver design tint to it. I loved that one too.

I've been plucking up maple tree seedlings from our garden beds. They are popping up everywhere. We could actually use some rain again. I had to water the veggie garden today. I'm worried now about the poppies I direct sowed. I wonder how hardy they are? My hose dosn't reach some of the beds I direct sowed them in and so far I haven't seen any signs of germination.

I can't remember how many white fan flowers I had in that hanging basket that I posted the picture of; probably two. Sometimes I use three plants per basket. Here is shot of some blue fan flower scaevola aemula
