mthor Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Aaaand we still have snow. But not much, and the geese are flying north, so yeah, yay, spring. I'm not sure I want to see the flowers yet; I'd rather wait until ours looks more like a probablity than a possibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discolé monade Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 well, i've been forcing spring. and now... i'm looking at a house that needs some spring cleaning. i've been so busy outside. i'm waiting for the winds to die down, so that i can do a faux patina on the pagoda. let me try to reload these pics. hold please.

discolé monade Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 ok...so these pics were from last week. so much has bloomed since then. but i'll take more once those come in a little better. specifically my 'bells of ireland' 'loves lies bleeding/green' and something called 'double purple giant queens' or something like that. i got some sugar bush watermelons coming in (the boy planted those and is beside himself seeing the 'fruits' of his labor) and the girl planted a whole damn tray of carnations. i really hope those come in. anyway...time for the pics. and of course i'm SUPER excited about my cat plant. she's coming in nicely. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
