The plants love it. After this last drop in temp, I believe its tonight, I'm going to plant my fennel and cilantro - the other stuff isn't ready.<br /><br />Oh and I completely forgot to get a little sprig of forcynthia (sp?) the last time I visited.Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00081121933082347062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-35616012735397732772009-04-21T14:42:00.000-04:002009-04-21T14:42:00.000-04:00I am sorry to not be responding as much as I would...I am sorry to not be responding as much as I would like. It's been a busy week and it's only Tuesday! <br /><br />Nance and Rowan, yall come by anytime and we'll dig! Tammy, you might think about putting in a little border of lettuce--it's pretty and useful. Or mixing a few onions in among the flowers--the blue-green spikes can be an attractive accent and green onions are great for cooking or salads. <br /><br />Other ways to add veggies to your gardens--carrots and dill have beautiful ferny foliage, tomatoes can be in the back on trellises or stakes, and strawberries make a nice border too. <br /><br />Pines, when you're ready to plant, let me know. We can mail plants, maybe! or at least a few seeds to get you started.<br /><br />Mary, you do what you can with what you've got. Severe allergies aren't something to play with, I know. Your herbs will give you great delight.<br /><br />Photos01, I just peeked at your site--amazing! and thank you for becoming my 50th follower:-)Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-30141063509441188892009-04-21T14:00:00.000-04:002009-04-21T14:00:00.000-04:00I wish you were my nextdoor neighbor.

If it wasn't for my husband most of my transplanted flowers wouldn't have lived. Mostly I sow seeds directly into the ground.<br /><br />Today, on my blog I posted an image of some lily-of-the-valley blossoms I did several years ago.

There has been speculation that houseplants coming inside may have been my frog's avenue into my house. If so, he was quiet for two months, not speaking up until mid-December. I've planted some herbs a friend gave me, and some are sprouting. The citrus plant the great-nephews and nieces planted several years back needs the outdoor sun to flourish. Other plants don't seem to care as much, but they look good out there. If I weren't the "poster child for allergies," I'd have sought a spot with more ground under my thumb.Maryhttp://storytellermary.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-12426754874442447742009-04-21T11:17:00.000-04:002009-04-21T11:17:00.000-04:00That sounds like the most awesome day!

I just do flowers and a few herbs that I buy from my friend. I did notice that my lemon balm is coming up...I'm so excited!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-21656792865394334112009-04-21T09:06:00.000-04:002009-04-21T09:06:00.000-04:00Sounds like a great day.

Mom planted me a Sweet Annie plants under my bedroom window back home so when I'm there we can smell Sweet Annie all night long as the breeze carried the scent into the bedroom.<br /><br /><br />I don't care for fresh half-runner beans either, but I love, love, love them when they're made into leather britches. The flavor is completely changed. My personal favorite beans are Scarlet Runners. MMMMMMMMMMMMMM.<br /><br />Glad to read that Larry is still talking about the bees, he filled me in on them on our trip a couple of weeks ago. I've never been around bee's but think I would love to work them. I've tried to get Mom & Dad to get some on the mountain but one of their neighbors tried them a few years ago and the bears tore the hives apart. I tried to get her to put them in an outbuilding...wonder if that would work? The bee's could still get in and out.......<br /><br />Are there any morels left in Jackson County? I figure Larry has found them all by now. My Aunt is starting to find the early one's in Pendleton County. The little black one's, not the white or yellow one's. Probably next week or so before it's peak season.<br /><br />Needless to say, I liked this post!<br /><br />MatthewMatthew Burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02625103538582649633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-36519669015253238912009-04-21T01:23:00.000-04:002009-04-21T01:23:00.000-04:00The best sort of day - gardening and good friends....The best sort of day - gardening and good friends.
