May 3, 2022 April showers in May!

 


I found some beautiful hanging flowers at Menard's for $9.99 with the rebate.  Thought that was a pretty good deal.  We have had rain so they are looking a little sad now.  I will be glad to see the sunshine and wish I could give some of my rain to some of the people having a drought.
 



A basket of double impatience.  It said they could take afternoon sun so hoping they flourish in this spot.


Straw flowers.  I have never had them before but thought they were pretty.



My milk jug containers that I had planted were quite successful.  I do need to get them in the ground ASAP.   Rain, rain go away.


 
I ordered ten strawberry plants and planted them.  Four of them has no green or life on them so that is not good!



I had a few celery leaves so dried them to help flavor soups.  Waste not, want not as the saying goes!



Rosie says I am bored,  Come play with me!   See you next week.  Have a good one!.....Nancy

Hi Nancy! Aw! That is a very cute beagle! You're a good garden girl! I told my neighbor recently, "I don't like weeding or working in the heat, but I LOVE flowers." You have to endure some stuff to have flowers nearby, I guess. God bless you!

I like your pretty hanging baskets of flowers. I hope you get your much-needed sunshine soon.

Your baskets are lovely. I had lots of baskets last summer and the deer and rabbits ate virtually all of them. And it was so HOT I couldn't stand to be outside even to water them. It all fell to Dennis to care for them. I didn't want to do that again so no flowers this year. Unless I stick some silk flowers in a few pots and hang them up. Ha!
Rosie is a sweetie. That little face is so cute. We're missing our Zoey and she's having a wonderful time with Piper. She probably won't want to come home with two old fuddy duddy's like us!
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy

Hi Pom Pom, It is nice to hear from you! Our beagle Rosie sure keeps us busy. Yes, I don't always like the work of the garden but I do like the results! You have a good week! Nancy

Hi Granny Marigold, Thank you. Today was a sunny day but back to rain tomorrow! Hanging baskets do add a lot of pretty to the garden! Nancy

Hi Betsy, It does take time to water the baskets but they bring a lot of color to my courtyard. I am sure your Zoey will be happy to see you again! It is nice that Piper can care for her. Nancy

Hi Cindy at Creations By Cindy, Thank you. It is hard to keep up when it is hot. Guess I am getting old too. But love the pretty flowers so I keep trying. Nancy

Your hanging baskets are very pretty, and such a good deal. I keep thinking I will buy one to hang on the front porch but they cost so much. Wish I could play with Rosie. :)

Hi Henny Penny, Yes, I thought that a good deal too on the baskets. They add so much cheer to my courtyard garden. Rosie would love if you could come play with her!....Nancy

Progress in the Courtyard!

  It was so nice to look out my bedroom window this morning and see the Clematis blooming instead of a pile of snow.  It is a rainy day agai...
