Penstemon 'Husker's Red'

The Golden Marguerite are doing great and are so tiny!!

Well folks....I don't see us making that move back to Nebraska until fall. It's just not happening as fast as DH planned it. No way am I going to chance sitting here with no flowers in my beds so I'm going to start sowing more annuals just in case!!

Friday was a beautiful day and I spent most of the day cleaning up beds, cutting stuff back and removing mulch from emerging crocus, daylily, daffodil, ect. I also raked out most of the mulch in the beds to give light to lots of viola and larkspur seedlings and noticed some of the Scabiosa atropurpurea were still alive too! I located all of last years W'sown Blue Sea Holly and Penstemon 'Husker's red'...NICE! Last years W'sown Shasta Daisy are getting new growth already too! Some Snapdragon's made it and some don't look so hot but that's ok I sowed more :)

BTW more than one slug was squished beneath my foot and or tossed out to the birds...eeeeeeew!

I think this week I'll start with sowing some Collards, Broccoli, Mustard, Lettuce and more annuals like Marigold, Chinese Forget-me-Not, Matthiola, Impatiens, Nasturtium, Malva,Petunia, ect. I have TONS of annuals this year from trade and commercial that I've never tried before :D
