Sunday And A Little Trip Around the Garden

 Just a small trip around the baskets, and perennial bed at this the beginning of the growing season. More to come later.

Just two of the three very different begonias I am trying this year.

The cala lilies I have growing in one pot on my deck.

The Mandeville vine that I also have in a pot on my deck.

The impatience corner. This will eventually look like a blanket of flowers. I have a double in a basket above this but am babying it a bit as it seems to be having a bit of trouble getting started.

The fuchsia and New Guinea Impatience that I have hanging above a bed containing coleus.

One of two pots (I would like a third down here) on the side of the house that hold gerbera daisy and English ivy.

My hibiscus that is just covered in buds. Mind you they don't seem to last very long. 

My two lemon trees grown from seeds from store bought lemons. One is a bit wonky.

The columbine in the perennial bed which seems to have gotten a bit out of hand.

I bought just the lighter purple and white, but now have....

Pure white (sorry for the blurry picture).

Light purple and white.

Darker purple with no white.

And pure yellow. 

While I do love them I am going to have to make sure to either collect the seed and give it away, or cut blossoms off before they manage to go to seed.

So there is a very quick trip around the garden. The plants I didn't show you are too small right now, and my herbs are just starting to take off after being replanted. 

I will give you all another trip once things are growing even better. I have a canna lily on my deck as well as some calibrachoa so I will get pictures of those as well eventually. Will do the veggie garden a bit later as well.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

MId Week And Some Photos

 

Mid week and a new month. Wow. 

I did have a bit of troubling news late last night. Turns out the friend I had coffee with had been in close contact with someone who had tested positive for Covid. Now my friend and her husband are testing themselves. Yesterday they tested negative, but will be testing again tonight. If they test positive, I am going to have to test myself.

So after 2 years of not catching this disease, I could in fact be seriously close to having it. We shall see.

I did promise you all some pictures of those projects I finished so here they are.

My made up pattern for a shrug. There are a few things I would change if I make this again.

The super bulky leftover yarns made into a blanket.

The skirt, kind of a fake wrap around. The pants are made out of the same fabric, but are in the wash right now.

One smaller poncho. It needs a bit more blocking so I will do that tomorrow.

The cushions I made for my rocker. A bit small, but man they are so much better on my back.

Today I did some baking. I made some buns.

And some zucchini muffins for an alternate breakfast on the days when I do not want cereal, toast or yogurt.

These are the eggplant that Kris started for us. They are in the garden and getting larger every day.

One last picture. This is my donkey cart filled and sitting in the front of the house. I cheated and bought something already put together and I love it.

Everybody have a wonderful evening. 

God bless.
