Projects

I am so ready for winter to be over. While I was at Walmart today besides picking up a window-box to plant the lavender seeds in (I hope it does good in a container?) I got some wildflower seeds (perennial mixture), and some cosmos seeds ( a pretty pale pink color) to go in a smaller window-box and some portulaca seeds for another container. I have never had much luck with seeds so I am keeping my fingers crossed they will do OK. I am going to plant them in their respective containers tomorrow and put them in my bedroom window until the weather is warmer.

I also picked up some pansies to place in a container with some iris bulbs I have to plant.

And I have had such good luck with my Cyclamen as a houseplant (I have had it since last May and it's in full bloom now) I purchased another one. My new one has dark pink blooms which will blend nicely with the pale pink blooms of my old one. I would love to have one with blue blooms like the one shown at the link. I'll keep an eye out for that color.

I also need to plant the camellia my Mother rooted for me. I have had it in a pot for a few years until it got BIG enough the kids couldn't accidentally run over it while cutting grass. I wonder what color blooms it has, it'll be a surprise when it finally blooms as Mother doesn't know which of her camellias rooted.

I want to plant the ferns I have around the crepe myrtle since Hubby made a nice border around the tree. I also want to root more of the purple heart I have and put it around the red-bud tree in the back once I have enough.

If Hubby tills up the ground next to the side walk I want to plant some calla lilies there. I love the canna lilies I have in the back. They are a lot easier to grow then it sounds from the website. I threw them into a mud hole and they came up, no planting required, my type of flower. And I am going to add some lantana to the flowerbed I have around the bird feeder.

I'll also be redoing my hanging baskets once spring is REALLY here.
