And the Snowflakes are getting ready to bloom. One had already bloomed but Mommy couldn't get a picture of it. It is in the Confederate Rose Bed and there is a big fire ant mound next to it. We are hoping the fire ants will be gone by the end of the week.
Fenris says Mommy takes too many pictures and doesn't do enough weeding. She didn't finish weeding the Verbena bed because there is a fire ant nest in it. She has to wait for the poison to kill them. She did get the Stokes Aster bed weeded, planted some interesting purple flowers from Grandma's house in the Charybdis bed (we will show them to you soon promise) and planted some Cactus Zinnias in assorted colors in the Bee Bed.
The yellow Kalanchoe is blooming too, but it is still in the greenhouse as the Cactus Pot it is in is to big and heavy for Mommy to move alone and since it sticks you Mommy promised the boy beans they would only have to move it once. So she is waiting for Spring to be officially here before getting it out.
These wildflowers are growing in the Whiskers Bed. We do not know their name so we call them Whiskers Flowers. They are a tiny blue violet type of flower.
Well we knew there was a reason US cats should do the post. Fenris forgot to remind Mommy to add the directions to Jonesie's so you could attend the Society of Feline Gardeners Meeting with us.
Update to our gardening post. Frankie mentioned he has Johnny Jump Ups where he lives. We has some too in the Bee Bed and we will show them to you soon. They are already up and blooming here. The Rooster Violet and the Johnny Jump Ups are related they both belong to the Violaceae family (we just learned that). But the Johnny Jump Ups' are Viola (tricolor) while the Rooster Violet's are Viola pedata L. Flowers can be very confusing. The leaves are different and the Johnny Jump Ups appear smaller to us. ~AFSS

For some reason this flower bed always seems to struggle but the Rooster Violets, Rose and Dusty Miller seem to be doing great in there. Nice to see blue skies again after all the cloudy weather. Heavy winds broke the Redbud Tree. Some...

The Forsythia is a mass of blooms. It is always one of the first plants to bloom and it says SPRING to us. We wishes it's blooms lasted longer. It is already getting leaves which means the blooms will be gone soon. We will enjoy it while we can. The...

Thursday in the Garden
Fenris was drafted to do this weeks gardening post.
He enjoys the geese family when Mommy takes him for a walk.
The Rooster Violet still blooming and growing, we just loves it as it brightened our winter.
The Japanese Magnolia has buds on it, it will bloom soon.
It is warm enough for the Kalanchoe to come out of the greenhouse.
Daddy FINALLY cut down all the weeds in the bulb bed. It looks so much better.
Fenris wants Mommy to hurry up so they can walk on the back side of the pond.
But Mommy is still taking pictures of the Rooster Violets.
Well we knew there was a reason US cats should do the post. Fenris forgot to remind Mommy to add the directions to Jonesie's so you could attend the Society of Feline Gardeners Meeting with us.
