Just Getting Started

I have been busy getting flowers planted, I still have lots to do! Everyday I've been plugging away. Today I finished planting pepper and tomato plants in our garden. I cheat and use landscaping fabric so I don't have to weed. I read in the Mary Jane magazine she uses it as much as she can So, I figure if it's good enough for Mary Jane then it's ok for me to use it.
I don't know what the name of this climbing rose is but, it's doing well. Those are the large Alliums they are kind of expensive. this year there's a few more than last year. I started out with just 1 bulb. I really like them.
I'm addicted to collecting hostas, sort of like wool.Ha! Here are just a few.
I used red, white and blue in our urns this year.
Filled alot of pots with red, pink and white. You can see them good from the road. I still have alot of pots to plant flowers in but, that's fun. Not like working up soil, just dump potting soil and pot up.
I bought this cone hanging basket and love it. I bought the last one, hoping they have another one next year.
This little pink dogwood tree was my mother's Day gift from my son, Tommy. Hope you are enjoying spring, I sure am. Until next time... Julie

  5. Beautiful flowers! I love the red, white, blue in the urns... and pink dogwoods are a favorite of mine! I've been thinking for a couple of years where the perfect spot would be for one in my yard...

  10. Wow, everything looks lovely. I wish I had a green thumb. When I plant anything it just seems cruel :) The only thing that doesn't die are the weeds!
