Very pretty Gayle. The Lithodora at my nieces is starting to bloom; that's a sure sign of spring.  Lithodora is a wonderful ground cover adorned with beautiful, deep blue flowers that usually bloom from March to July. |

Pretty Gayle, spring has arrived at your home. Mary, I love your niece's yard as well as the Lithodora. Cleome, old favourite  |

Gayle...love your woodland phlox. You are certainly getting lots of Spring flowers....worth the wait, isn't it? Mary...your niece's yard is lovely and I love that Lithodora. When you posted a pic last year I researched it since I'd never heard of it nor seen it. It seems it isn't hardy for my zone.....that's probably why. Donna...those are very pretty cleome! That's another plant I don't have luck with. Oh what a difference a day makes........both pictures taken in the same spot 24 hours apart....unbelievable! Wednesday at 4 PM ( and we got another 2 inches after I took the picture) :  +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Fast forward 24 hours.....Thursday at 4 PM:  Geraniums from my GH basking in the sun getting hardened off. I wasn't able to leave them out there all night. You can still see just a little bit of snow in this picture. |

Gayle-So pretty.
Mary-That is one pretty plant.
Donna-I too love cleomes, and the deer don't, so always a bonus!
Charlene-I can't believe you set those poor plants in a snowbank!! lol They look amazing. Does having them in the greenhouse help prevent leaf burn from going outside? I know when I take my plants out I always have to keep them in the shade or they fry. I may be using your paint can light holding method as I have some very tall plants going and am completely out of room for them.
I'll brb with a pic on from my phone.

Melissa...these are more mature plants so leaf burn isn't as big of a problem....plus geraniums are hardier than many plants....thus the snowbank treatment. :D I will lose more leaves down the road when we have one of our famous 50 MPH wind days. When I set smaller plants and seedlings out I have to put them in the shade out of the wind or leaf burn is a problem. You've got LOTS of healthy looking marigolds there. Charlene

Problem...Posting. You probably remember this bed. It is from my bed before I moved.
I'm doing better but still not well. I can get about with my walker for a while. I still enjoy my flowers. I did plant seed and Suzanne put several plants in the ground this morning. We had instant flower beds this spring, Iris and pansies. Both are still blooming now.
When you pray remember me.

Beautiful flower bed Abey. I didn't realize you were still having problems. I will certainly keep you in my prayers.
I need to do some research on the Lithodora.
