I sent some of these to some of you also, these are in an hanging planter , under the peach tree off of a branch.. the squirrells and birds have left them alone.. lobelia, and I.Batatas.. goldfingers, lantanas and impatiens too.. this pot has grown alot in just a few days, I can't wait to see it full blown..
I sent some of youu these things, they didn't look like much, with love and tender caring, they have rewarded me back with love..geranium horizon mix, lantana and cosmos seeds this planter will be awsome, one of my favorites to see.. I see a stray cleome there.. I will have to take it out.. I will send it off to someone .. in a gesture of friendship I am sure.. ,
some of you got one of these.. another favorite of mine, silver mound lantana, oh, so yummy and sublime
I planted kniolas' black, in this little pot, filled with dark red angel wing begonias, too bad, I made a mistake, one of them will have to come out.. the soil mixture i used is too heavy, the poor begonia is suffering..
some of the seeds in my mystery mix, gave seedlings just like this..
they will grow up and out of that basket, into the ground, and give a flower like this.. smelling sweet, and heavenly, glowing in the dark, drawing all the bees from everywhere, they just seem to tug at my heart.. old fashion moon flower...
this bunch here, was given out to, I can't remember who got them, I had to thin them out you see, so I put them in a trade.. these are last years pictures.. monarda pink
and here they are right now.. in the same spot, but a different look.. to the right is the monarda, brugmansia, eyelash salvia
some of you got seeds in the mix i sent of this beauty.. columbine.. this picture looks foggy cuz... it was.. sorry..
I gave out alot of these seeds in that mix.. this was last years photo... cones, monarda, cosmos

Enjoyed your thread Debra. Beautiful photos!
Another long night of a watching someone breathe.. Pauline, you are a strong woman with a strong heart, however, kind heart would describe u better.. thanks, Son for staying up there while I am here.. a long week has passed, work, hospital, home to my Gardens.. last year , I had made "curtains" in different areas, curtaiins of morning glories, and other vines, Then I surrounded myself with my large prenniel planers mixed in with some annuals for instant colour..
I lined up the north east and northwst corner barels with other barrels and planters and pots, had the picnic table on my south side of the garden patio table, loaded it up with flowers for part of my "south privacy wall" grew mg curtains on the south fence and behind me in the garden, and on the outside of the northest part of the patio , covering the viiew to the north as well(pic from july08)
so.. to the north.. and north east
the other side looking south of that corner..bean and tomatoe and corn and pepper patch to the left of that , this picture was taken june 24th last year, before I moved the table to the north end with a different umbrella.. the mg curtains are just getting going there..
fast forward this to this month gone by so quickly, and now to May27th this day,
the north east end of the yard
the southeast end
Debra - Love this photo: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=6634532 And the size of your backyard is wonderful. Lots of room for all kinds of garden beds! You need an arch somewhere with MG vines growing on it! :-)
Becky and all, thanks. I guess this should be in my journal, but that is hard to keep and this is easier.. tonight when I got home from the hospital, I found all kinds of things popping up..
lantana, coleus, zinnia, and more see the pretty varigated leaves>
my sister sent e this hanging planter.. uhmmm.. it reminds me of the shoe bag I used this ast winter to hold mg planters .. anyway, here is what is in it.. i didn't notice the little tomatoe plant in there with the shibouri, and tonight the coral vine and the cathedral bells were up..
thisis the south fence I am trying to cover up.. my darling daughter, karin bought a hugepiece of lattice work wood to put here in one fell swoop, but I jus have to wait now, because there are about 11 different vines planted in that fence area.. and they are doing really good..
I had to string up the netting here from the swirly stick to the top of the gutter for the vines in these baskets, and the tomatoe basket is now caught up in holding wire..they are really going now, about three inches a day it seems.. I love morning glories, they act like there is no tommorrow..
these purple queen zinnia are from seed I started in winter, and this is one of my nursery beds where I harden off or start at, it is on the south side of the a/c unit..
the liatris is about to bloom, it is popping up everywhere.. as is everything else..
this beards toungue is about to bloom, it prolly has already, this was taken three days ago..
this avacado tree was wintered over, I clipped it and made starts, had to pull rouge mgs out of the pot..
brugmansia, baptisia, crinium monardas and alot more here
my mint has bloomed, now I will dead head it and pick some leaves for my tea..
this monster is really going big, wish I had marked it, or if I did, wished it were readable..*sigh* any ideas>?
mini bar rose is up finally..
I know I had a tag here, it said josephs pure white, and convoluvus hmm.. well we shall see when it blooms..
Josephs SOH is getting ready to go "dahling.. here I come!"
this rebecca is from emma.. she looks like she is ready to meet george strait!
jamie lynn is a bit crowded, will have to see if she can out grow her neighbors here..
