thx joann i have three from a coop

Very nice, tc!

"Here is Heuchera electric lime under our bloodgood jm"-->I love the colors on this one! They were my decorating colors when I had a house.

I think I have thay one, bought in the same coop. Ha ha ha...DD's wedding screwed up my gardening mind!!!!

of course you did celeste - was there a coop you missed?

several in fact, it was for my own good. ^_^

Bill that electric lime does look very promising

I am taking cuttings for next year.
Its a grower and I have a dozen plants so far

Nice pics, everyone! Celeste, even though the snow is pretty, I hope we don't get any too soon.

Jo Anne, are heucheras easy to take cuttings from?

Karen

Great question Cousin Nut. Can you propagate heucheras easy/peasy from cuttings?

If you can, I will surely be doing some myself.

Karen

Ditto.

Our town picks up leaves in bags. IrisMA and her DH used to use old x-mas trees for brush jumps when I was younger. They made interesting jumps. No ponies there now!

We take most of our leaves to the town's brush dump, as most are oak, & don't decompose. I loved that combo, Bill!

Marilyn, my oak leaves decompose, but they do take longer than other kinds. It really helps if you can shred them. Going over them with the lawn mower works really well. That's what I do, as I don't have a shredder. And if you can't combine them with grass clippings or green weeds or fresh manure, then blood meal sprinkled on them works great. You have to make sure they're damp. A dry pile will take way too long to decompose.

Karen

Thanks everyone! Y'all posted some excellent pictures too!

TC

we turn over any leaves that end up in the garden in spring

That's good advice, Karen, but there's no way for us to shred them---I hired a kid to rake along the fence this year---about 2 years of oak leaves had collected---they were as slippery as ice!

Lawnmower?

That is what DH uses to shred leaves.

Works like a charm. We sometimes do that with our mulching mower.

A couple of more water shots - from my hike this AM.

Nice waterfall.

That's odd. The last one should have been cropped a bit to remove the out of focus stuff in the foreground. Oops.

My website is finally working
joanngentle.com

Nite site!

It's a great pic, nonetheless, Victor

Site looks great JoAnn

Your waterfall pics look like paintings Victor. Cool!

thanx Its been hours on the phone with teck support.

Thanks, ladies.

JoAnn, love your block prints! That Tea for 2.5 is so Matisse! And your sink is one of my favs too. And the peonies and parasols is my fav watercolor. Very user friendly website!

Wow! Beautiful website! I tried to pick a favorite, but there were too many to choose just one! I'd love to see what you would do with African Violets someday...or perhaps one of Victor's beautiful waterfalls!?!
.

Or a dahlia! ^_^

Nice water shots, Victor! I've got to try that sometime.

Jo Ann, your website looks great! My favorite watercolors are the birches. I love birches. And of the whiteline prints I like the lupines a lot.

Karen

Thanks, Karen.

Yes - very nice, Jo Ann! The whiteline prints are something. The waterlily watercolor looks familiar! ^_^

Thanks everyone, I am working on changing the background color to something more neutral.
I did paint a picture from Victor!
The frozen lily pads.
