One of these day, it will be spring weather all the time and beautiful blooms everywhere,, like in the Garden of Eden where we started. Won't that be too cool.

I was looking at all the snow and stuff happening up north. Their cold is as bad as our summer heat.

Sad I'm so sorry Lynn. We have awesome temps, but no sunshine. Shrug! I'm sure the Lord knows what He is doing. I guess our little plants are needing something that they are getting. But, I sure would like to see some sunshine. It has been soooo gloomy here for the last many days and it doesn't look like any sunshine until Sunday. I sure hope the weather man is wrong. And we start heavy rains tomorrow I think. But again, if my yard and plants need low light and lots of rain, I'd rather it come from above, cause I am too lazy to water these whole 2 acres myself.

We apparently had storms overnight, some power outages, but I didn't hear a thing as usual. There's a tornado watch not far south of us, and there were tornadoes in Kansas.

My Red Star looked so skimpy, so I made a grouping. It looks much better.

Debbie that really is a pretty combination. It highlights the cordyline and makes it a much more impressive plant. Thumbs up

Thank you Karen. I went to a wholesale nursery last week and found Coleus for 3.25 for a 1 gallon pot each. I only saw three different kinds, so I bought 2 of each. Nothing major, but I'm going back this weekend and I hope I find more varieties.

Spring, snow? Oh I am so happy to live in the south. Of course, when it gets farther into summer, remind me I said that, if I start complaining. Hilarious! I love doing containers, but I only did this one today because everything was near and convenient. I will be doing more later and I post photos.

Thanks! What does everyone do with the pansies and primroses when you put in your annuals for summer?
Thumb of 2012-03-28/springcolor/d08440
This is my primerose dump. Some make it some don't. Pansies kind of fizzel when it gets hot but i really like some of the ones I found this year so would want to save them. I was thinking of putting them in a semi shaded area.
