I took gardening and work breaks to see the new Great Gatsby movie (absolutely horrible - still trying to erase it from my mind) and the new Star Trek movie (AMAZING - can't wait to see it again!)
Are you a Doctor Who fan? HOLY COW! Saw the season finale last night, and am still speculating about what it all means. Do I really have to wait until fall for more?
Anyway, back to the garden... This is the gorgeous azalea in front of my house. It's huge and covered with purple blooms. LOVE it!
Got two of these big red double knock-out roses from Costco for jut $13.99. They will fill out and be covered with gorgeous red blossoms all summer.
New, soft pink azalea in the backyard....
This azalea is white, and also in the backyard...
The azalea is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteSpring certainly is a busy time in the garden, but fun too. We have had such a chilly spring this year, but now the heat has arrived, and I am hurrying a bit to get the greenhouse and kitchen garden ready for growing.
Have a nice new week :)
Our weather has been crazy. We've had days that are really cold, then suddenly in the 80's, then frost warnings. It makes it very difficult to plan.
DeleteI got a small, portable greenhouse this year. It's really just a shelving unit with clear plastic cover - but it gets super hot and steamy in there. I learned the hard way, and burnt my first two trays of seedlings by not monitoring them. Oh well. Now I know. :( And I'm absolutely behind on planting veggies and herbs. I need to do some work on my raised beds to better protect them from the chickens, and I can't plant them until it's done. So much to do!
Enjoy your week, too!
