The Garden Blues

I've been real lazy this growing season. Not sure what has really gotten in to me..but I sigh. I have recently been looking online. For plants that I want to purchase from different plant nurseries. Which the Shipping prices are astronomical! The really sad part is I have the seeds to just about everything I wanted to buy. So I decided to get off my hump and germinate some seeds. I've been known to be the "Germinating Queen". So why not live up to my name? So today I pulled out the seeds of each plants I was trying to buy. I will start them in the windowsill at this time. I'm sure they will germinate in about 7-14 days and will post pictures. I will use a small plastic cup with vermiculite nearly drenched. Which seems to work best for the type of seeds I'll be starting. Then enclose each cup in a plastic ziplock bag.

In the picture below I have a few sprouts of Himalayan Blue Poppy which emerged yesterday..I'm sure they'll be more I can see the seed splitting.

Time to Pull Weeds

Plants are blooming and many emerging. But I see now that it's definitely time to pull some weeds.

Walking Under the Trees and breathing the Spring air..

Spring Has Arrived!

Daffodils and Tulips are Blooming. Which means I need to go outside and do some Spring clean up. I will be taking pictures, and sharing what I'm germinating now.

This will be continued....

October Blooms

All today...Really Strange things are happening with Plants here in the gardens. They are confused and don't know what to do..The temps have been steady around 75 which is warm for this time of year. I have coneflowers blooming now. Pink and Red Beauty Berry and Cannas too..

What's Blooming Today??

Happy Gardening!
