Carribia finally opened only to get drenched

goldflame is everywhere..

Beautiful blooms Debra.

My i. purpureas are really the first morning glorys besides heavenly blue I have ever grown. Until I met you guys here, that is all I knew existed. Thank you..

Really nice blooms Debra!!

Never heard of Goldflame, but it sure is lovely.

I know, Debra. I grew one kind two years in a row, but i think Ive got ten or eleven 3 or 5 gallon pots going now. and I'm not done. I'm pretty thankful too.

my nephew is going to get pickle buckets for me @ one of Mc place =)

That is great Phyl, they will do well there for ya!
My honeysuckles are all flushing right now, and things are looking very green.

Debra, Can't wait to see your yard by the middle of summer.
Will be amazing to say the least. I don't know how you do it and work too
Just beautiful and reflecting all your hard work.

I just sent rebecca home with a new Morning glory lover to be. I was showing her around when she came over to get some bamboo, and she was ohhing and awwing over the mgs, so I sent her home with that pot, and one of the blue and pink i. purps. She lives here in derby, ks and we met on yahoo groups wichita, when she asked about bamboo for a privacy fence, I told her to come and get it. While looking at my stuff, I decided she would make a good mom to a little of everything. While walking around , I found this: LOL
and, this is the one I was asking for on my wish list, that I grew last year from either liz or ronnie.. kawnii or kawaru or something like that. go figure, must have dropped some seeds in that same pot.

Hanging planter outside the back door northside filled with seeds from cibarious and moretz

front vine corner and seedling nursery north side of front porch

South front garden off of front porch

View of south end porch garden from the other side

DH let me have some space around these two bushes for more garden....

North wing garden, new Hydrangea and Hucheras.. too bad the Hydrangea is so happy there, it is not a big enough area for it, will leave it in the pot until fall and plant it out back. There is a huge fir tree over this spot..

south end of front porch inside view, passion vines, chalice vine, roses and honeysuckles, mgs and coral bells. and more..

the front view looking north

New south front garden, mostly prenniels and kansas native plants behind the brick wing. I tend to neglect this area.

these are from seed, this area is also where I planted Lazlos' Mystery Mix .

This lantana pot was wintered over in my basement nursery garden and it is in this south area.

both these clumps are fully loaded on each side of the window well covers

Last year I had mgs growing up and over the brick wing, as well as the glory lilly vine. I moved the Nadina domestica to this corner. I took out some bamboo. There are mg seedlings at the end to train up the plastic mesh I will put up like last year.

This is at the farthest end of the front yard, south end. ditch lillys, cones and a brugmasia are in this mess.

close up of my prenniel pot.. and the EE from rita is going out back with the others, it stayed inside all winter, but this pot of black eyed susan and creeping sedum comes back strong and I love it.

this is a grouping in the south end of the porch outer edge rock garden.

Debra - Love the blooms on Lazlo's mystery mix! I'm a fan of daylilies and love the ditch lilies! They grow well in my yard without spreading. :-) Your garden beds and yard are looking great! Nice to have Spring/Summer here now, isn't it? I could stand about 10 degrees cooler here though. LOL! Glad that your dh has allowed you some more space to grow more plants! :-) Keep inching your way around the yard and before you know it ... ;-)

My bottle brush shrub is happy here, and so are the brugs in the ditch lilly patch, under the honey suckle

Thanks, Becky, I am so excited.. I have made ready the spot where I am growing more mg seeds from the swap.. it is in the alley behind my dog run, but I go out there every day at least twice to look at things. Here is the set up so far..( one side)

here is the other side, there are 24 planting spaces in these trays, they are filled with rich compost and soil, pushed into the ground, and have been rained on. when I get the seeds out, I will tag each one and put a tall bamboo pole in them. there is space in between them for more support poles. I am still working on this project.

the bean patch and house garden out back north view

a little more to the west view, the blue tub there is holding my two goldfish, and water plants, while waiting for the pond form repair to dry. the tomatoes, potatoes and peppers are all getting big.you can see a huge tub of mgs at the end of the stepping stones.

here you can see the north fence garden and the north east corner of the patio that is being built up.there are poles, canes, branches and training mesh all over the place for mgs.
