HEY Everyone! How are you all doing? Just wanted to pop in and say hello.. (((hugs)))

About time you popped back in Mechelle how are things going with you these days.

HI Everyone nice day again so back out to unload manure should manage to get it all done this morning. Then it's housework I didn't get to yesterday. Everything planted in the veggie garden that can be planted. Boy, one of those peanuts I bought was hard to shell by hand even DH complained about that. I gave up but he managed to shell enough to plant a row and part of another one.

Well the dogs know it's time to go outside so I'm off of here. Have a nice day

Had a beautiful weekend and Monday here. I'm raking off and getting ready to plant the early stuff. I've got tulips, crocus, and daffs everywhere thanks to all of you my DG friends. My early tomato plants will be ready to send out in a couple of weeks, I'm watching them daily.

Have a great week all!

Al

OMG, it's snowing again. So envious of all of you having nice sunny weather and being able to work in your yards! I want spring to come to my house.

Hi Everyone!

Glad to see spring springing up everywhere. We'll do the spring dance for you skellogg and send you some sunshine.

Rocks are good Jar! Glad you got them.

Loca you have dmail.

Hugs to all!

Well I managed to stick my phone to the computer and get on while my DIL is here to help me.
HELLO to everyone!
The weather is in the 90's here for the last few days and it's so HOT can't go out except early morning or just before dark so not to get burned. What happened to spring time!?!
☺I'm sweating bullets here. Just be glad you got cool weather skellogg, I'd trade any time! I never got a snowman at all. We got snow late in the evening and it melted before morning a couple times but none acumulating for snowman making. URG!
Don't pay attention to the containers I store rain water in and a bag of potting soil where I'm repotting some of my babies and take a look at my easter cactus starting to bloom. I started pulling some of my plants out of the greenhouse cause it is getting way too hot in there and found this one. Orange, red and purple colored all in the same pot. I need to find a bigger pot for them this year.
Hope everyone is doing good and big hugs for charlie and the long ears.

Hope sspring is here to stay for you all (and soon to come for you sk)... Beautiful day in the neighborhood. Thanks for the d-mail seray!

RRM - here is my PP chuggin' along...

Your Easter cactus is gorgeous mekos. Good to see you!

Mekos has a button, Seray and I all have butons. Boy is my cp prolific. So Happy everyone going to get seeds and new cp's. Mekos Charley wants a Mojito and some sammiches, You know you have him spoilt and he misses you. He sends you lots of nuzzles.

What is that button going to do RRM? Can you tell I'm CP-challenged...

ledge don.t feel bad about being lost i stay lost about half the time. arejay haelps me alot. ask her im sure she would send you a dmail with the link in it that way you could just go to your d mail and find one from arejay and click on the link and come backto us.

RRM, what is the little round ball INside there? Is it a seed pod or something? I think
Loca's looks different from mine.
Big smooch for Charlie. Love that big red furball.Got turkey sammiches and Mojitos for him too. What the hay--- Turkey sammiches and Mojitos for everybody! WooHoo! Night John Boy. Later dudes.

Your's looks like it's open and mine's closed. Dunno what it is supposed to be - lol...

It is a seedppod, Loca. It has little seeds in it. When it dries and cracks open , the seed will fall and you will have new baby cp's for the kids to watch grow. I have to keep a wire over mine to keep the dogs out. But the birds enjoy them. I believe it is the water that attracts them. See the tiny round thing by Mekos fingers? that is where the seeds are.

Anthony in the bluebonnets at my grandmother's house.

Oh now I'm excited for baby CPs - lol...

Anthony is a cutie!

Thank you. I think so, but I know that I am incredibly biased. :)

Very cute little fella.

He looks happy in those bluebonnets Sapphire. Looks like you have a gardening buddy.

Mine's closed too Loca. You know how Mekos is she can grow anything with nary an effort. If she looks at it it blooms. LOL

Glad to see you posting Mekos!

Hugs

You're right about mekos seray - lol...

RRM - there are some little green plants growing in the peat with my PP. I think they hitchiked from your place as they don't look familiar to me - lol. I'll try and take a good pic tonight and post it and maybe you know what they are. Very pretty dark green leaves. If it's a weed I want to get it out of the PP pot - lol.

CP pot, child. Your plant hasn't bloomed out yet. Loca, Mekos has her in a garage is father along in developing. that is actual seed pod. Yours will look like a balloon, then will get the seed pod. You may already have baby's coming up . Cause I didn't watch them at all unti l started giving them all away. I bet they are young plants.

PP pot (Pitcher Plant) sound rather funny now doesn't it? LOL...

The green things don't look like PPs... I'll try and get a picture tonight.

Look how pretty. I went out this morning and it was in full bloom. Got some yellow tulips blooming too and azeleas. And my iris beds are filled with green leaf stems and looks like they will be a georgeous display a little later.
The one thing I was amazed at was the white bird of paradise that I left outside in ground in zone 7 remember, is green and survived. They can survive my zone. I composted and mulched around it before the first freeze and it survived and looks so good. I cut off most of the long shoots when I composted over it but it is about 2 foot tall right now. WooHoo!
(I'm sorta in shock I'm still able to get on here again, but my DIL helped me string a cable to get a better signal and it works better now.)

Mekos, so glad to have you back and to see all the beautiful pictures your posting.

My VFT has little seed pods on it too...I am so excited about that.

HI Mekos so glad to see you back more often.
Sapphire that is one cute fella enjoying those flowers.

Sweaters are done except for buttons which my friend is going to put on so tomorrow is picture taking time. So far everyone loves them who's seen them so guess I did good.

Been a nice day here today. Got my red buckeye and lemon verbena yesterday waiting for it to cool off some before I plant them.

Is that Lantana mekos? I'm surprised it looks so good after winter!

Hi everyone...My pp didnt make it.... waaaa I think someone one watered it chlorinated water when I was hospital with Caleb.. I had hoped it was in hybernation.. I looked for a new one at lowes yesterday but couldnt find any... Its nice to see you again Mekos.. your flowers are beautiful as always...I love those cactus..I worked outside all day.. I dont think im ever going to get this big ole yard clean...Hope you all have a great night.... AL let me know when you are ready for those irises.. I will get them in the mail to you...Trish

Hi Hunybunch, long time. Sorry to hear about the baby. Hope he is good now.
The yellow flower bush is kerria joponica bush. We always called it the easter rose but double kerria is it's real name. So easy to root pieces if ya want some. just break a piece and stick in the dirt and water it. I may even be able to find some rooted if ya want some.

mekos, that kerria joponica is beautiful. If you have an extra cutting I'd love to have some.

Sure Marti. d-mail me your address and I'll get you some out this weekend.

Had this blooming in my greenhouse this morning. A sunflower.

My puya plants from fall planting seeds. They are ready to be seperated and repotted now.

Sowed seeds of the red and the green Amaranthus that looks like a bush giving the bird to passers by and here the seedlings are.

Cool plant mekos, the kerria japonica. Does it have thorns or something?
