Good morning everyone! Happy Hump Day Wednesday!!! Well, I got through another night of taking care of my auntie in the hospital. She is hanging in there although very confused. Her WBC is very high and her RBC is very low. She isn’t responding to the three antibiotics they are running into her at all. Last night I took some of her favorite books in with me and read to her, even though she slept through 80% of it.
Today’s Topic: I am ready to talk spring and specifically spring gardening. We can finally see our dead grass again! The mountains of snow are just about gone which makes me happy. We hit near 60 degrees last weekend which really helped, although we have snow flurries today. I got out a bunch of my gardening supplies and going to start some seedlings indoors this weekend. First up on our agenda is my four flower beds and then we will get busy on starting seedlings for our veggie garden. How many of you enjoy gardening and for those who do…what kind of things do you enjoy planting in the springtime?
I can not wait for my tulips to bloom! They are so pretty in the Spring. I plant petunias and marigolds in June because it is cold here until late in the year. I also have to hang a plant outside. Otherwise, that is all I do. I do not have a green thumb.
Praying for you, your auntie, and family.
I’m ready for spring. The only day we are even going to hit freezing is Friday. Single digits and flurries are our forecast. I’m ready for flowers, green grass, and sun. I need easy flowers that will return, perennials like asters or coneflower.
I always wished I had a green thumb – I even killed a rosemary plant and a Mother-in-Law plant! As well, I now live in a condo with a small balcony, so gardening is not an option for me.
Congrats to the winners!
I garden at the Denver Botanic Gardens. I live in a townhouse and don’t have much space so I grow 2 kinds of mint, catnip, oregano and sage. They all come back every year so I don’t have to do much. The pansies were blooming at the Gardens last week.
Congrats to the winners!
Nowhere close to gardening time for us. We are ecpectiong snow and it is a howwling -20 with the windchills. I have mtt gardening catalogs to look at to keep me dreaming 🙂
Congratulations to the 2 winners.
We also have those snow flurries and the patches of dead grass which became visible with the warmer weather over the weekend. I am only an indoor gardener with regular plants, herbs and sometimes some Aerogarden cherry tomatoes.
I love gardening…floral, fruits, veggies, herbs, you name it, I like it! I find it very relaxing, a lot of hard work but it saves us a lot of money on groceries since I freeze and can our harvest for the winter season.
