Stores have all the Beautiful plants and flowers out now !

I went out to Ace it was open at 8am. I got there first, several people followed after me, we all had Masks .

It's so strange not seeing people's faces!


Anyone like planting gardens?

I love gardening. I only have a tiny garden with a few established plants, prairie flame bush, two rose bushes and a climbing Jasmine with a campanula border. I do have a paved area with pots that I like to change the contents of throughout the year and from year to year. It's a great joy for me.

I have a small flower garden in my front yard. Many mixed flowers. I'm not that good at gardening but I love flowers. Marigolds, Carnations are easy.. And a few others.

My son has a vegetable garden. I tried that couple years, didn't do well. My back yard is not that good ground.

I know what you mean. My garden is mostly heavy clay, so that does limit the possibilities. When I started with it, you could have thrown pots with the soil it was so full of clay and although I have improved it over many years, it's still not great .

Lilacs should be blooming soon, one of the best smelling flowers.

I like them too.


The neighbor has tulips in Bloom. Beautiful colors.

Currently not much flowering... I had daffodils, then tulips, my broom was flowering beautifully for weeks. Grape hyacinths, periwinkle. But all these have gone/stopped flowering.
I think the only thing that's blooming at the mo in my garden is rosemary and the forget-me-nots.

I have seen lilac in bloom in gardens but I haven't got that :)
I'm waiting for my roses!

I may plant plum trees in the next go round.

I’m not good at gardening but in the past had a massive garden with lots of flowers, lilac trees and vegetable patch. I grew potatoes, lettuce, leeks, carrots, peppers, raspberries and strawberries.

I haven’t been in my present house very long but the gardens are laid with stone and I have decking so if I wanted to plant anything, I would have to use tubs. That was the plan but with all garden centres closed due to lockdown, this may have to wait another year.

I understand about the mask said to someone the other day u may not see it but I am smiling at u . ... love flowers & gardening ... almost set ... my perennials have hung in there with this weather ... happy about that ... growing well ... both green houses i go to are open ... got a few ...flowers ... not sure what I want to put in these other pots waiting for my tall grasses to start getting green ... had to replace a rose bush ... hope it blooms ...

Mystical

Sounds like you really into gardening. Sounds lovely too!

I went to cover my plants yesterday evening temp was to drop to 30°.
There was a little bird hiding behind my flower. It didn't seem to be able to fly away. It started running fast away. I hope it survives.


I thought, birds know how to put their Young out, to fend for themselves.

Unlike many humans, who let them stay til 30yrs sometimes.

I feed birds behind my duplex and have perennials in front. Clematis, purple cone flowers (echinacia) yarrow with white and yellow blooms, hen & chick plants. Not a lot of dirt. when i had a house with huge yard i planted lots of flowers every spring. yes, I love the smell of lilacs.

I can't plant flowers in my yard. The ground is very hard and too many rocks.

My back yard is not that good ground. So I plant in front yard.
People can see them better anyway. Lots of people live in this area.

A couple of years ago, I tried to plant flowers next to my steps in the front yard. I used a rake and a shovel. The ground was so hard that I gave up.

cat, if you keep it watered every 2-3 days, you could get a pot already planted and set it by your front door.

I have some daisies coming up with buds on already. also iris ready to bloom.

been awhile yes really love it ... spent the last to days weeding ... my big flower garden ... wondering anyone have any trouble with peony not blooming a lot this yrs ... think they did get that last frost :>(

my wild grass does not seem to be coming back errr

I remember the yr I planted a veggie garden I was not even home enough to water it ...
