Peonies!

It has been the best peony year ever! I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that we are moving this summer. They must have overheard my husband and I talking and decided to perform well so they would be dug up and taken with me - like I don't have enought OTHER stuff to do besides dig up a bunch of plants and then RE-PLANT them 5 miles away. Oh well...gotta do it.

Howz it growin?

Here is my happy spot...



Clockwise from the onions, potatoes, sunflowers, cabbage, broccoli and raspberries....



from the other corner, black raspberries, tomatoes, pinto beans, and poles ready for some green beans too...

Howz it growin'?

Well it was growing good til they died...yup I took this a while ago I just haven't posted it yet, and now I need to get down and take pix of the tiger lillies that have taken their place....I did not plant these, which is why they are doing so well. We have been in our house almost 2 years, and they just keep coming back and I love it. If I had anything to do with these I am sure they would be dead by now. So I am going to enjoy them as long as I can.

I will take a picture of the new flowers and add later.

We're growing a sweet pea in our house. Here it is in November:

Hi! Thought it was about time I got back here! :)



Petunia's still alive!! The wave variety!


Waving again!


My own container creation! Geranium in the middle, Ivy, etc. It's still doing well!
Everyone laughs at me as I'm known to have a black thumb...well...almost a month later and all of these are hanging in there!

Howz It Growing

I don't have room for a garden (rental), but I do have a landing on my back steps that gets plenty o'sunlight.

So I planted a pot garden. I've got tomatoes, sunflowers, nastursiums, a mother's day marigold, onions, oregano and now my favorite one--a potato.

I "rooted" a Yukon Gold potato from a funky tater we had leftover from a bag we bought at the grocery store.

This was my potato the Friday of Memorial Day weekend:



Here it is yesterday (a week later):



I just got done watering my pot garden and I swear that potato has gotten bigger from that picture yesterday!

New Topic!

Time for a new topic, I think....Howz it Growin? What's growing in your garden/flowerpot/neighbourhood/cracks in the sidewalk, etc?

Here's what's in my front garden.

Marigolds!
