The weather has been so nice, I had to do some "patio gardening". I just retrieved all my hanging baskets from the shed and filled them with petunias, violas and some carnations. I've never grown carnations, so we'll have to see how they turn out.


This shot is of my watering jug - I love the color of the water when I add MiracleGro - looks like the cool blueberry koolaid I used to make for the kids.

SPRING is almost here too - it got up to 50 yesterday and we spent the entire afternoon outside. I've never grown carnations either - watch Manon des Sources - it's really good - even with the subtitles.

Love,

You are getting a very early start this year. (Must be global warming) I don't dare plant outside yet as I'm sure we will have more frosts. Do you have blooms yet from the mystery bulbs? E

hey - no, they are just now popping out of the ground. i'll let you know. the 10 day forecast for this area looks good - and after the first few weeks of april, we're usually good to go. the only time we've had late frosts were the years that i planted a full-fledged garden and got caught by surprise. since i don't have the garden planted, i suspect we're safe!! k
