I have started to leave the garage door open but as far as moving anything out I havn't done that yet. We are supposed to have a few cold nights next week so I need to be careful and not to forget anything outside. I did move my shamrock to my front porch. I am so ready to be outside. I am not going to take any summer classes so I can play out in the sun. I guess I need to get the lawn mower tuned up also.

Yes, it has been a beautiful day today.

A few days ago I moved a dat and brug I had overwintered. I planted them in their same spot/hole because they had done so well last year.

I also moved cuttings, I just recently potted, out to patio so they could get some sun.

Since I only had the three brugs last year no problem deciding where to plant, but this year with the cuttings doing fairly well I will have to give some thought as to where to put everything.

I've been working on an area which had been overrun with vinca. When finished I think this part of yard will be perfect for my new brugs, passion vines (along fence) and some dats if the seeds I was given (thanks gals and guys) make it.

Kylie, what's taking you so long? We have had a month of really spring weather and half of the greenhouse is out and 1/4 of the Brugmansia house is out? I have had to leave the doors open as temps have gotten upwards in the 90s in there. I had a heck of a time getting the huge Alocasia out of the tropical house yesterday, she is now repoted with babies removed. All the Nanas are repotted and out and I'm hoping Barry will send me his plants so they can sit in the greenhouse?? ; ) I even had to take the annual geraniums out as they were in full bloom. What is going on?? We are rainy and cooler today w/sun breaks and wind, I guess I should of stripped the Nanas?
I'm glad I stopped yesterday and made my famous green leafed cookies!!

Kylie, I have been leaving the garage door open too, but as for moving anything outside, well IM A BIG CHICKEN!!!!You know like a last minute freeze. Guess I could move a few of my potted Hibiscus out on saturday.

I have a climbing roses bush on the front of my house that blooms with these tiny yellow blooms, but for right now thats all I have blooming here.

YUM.. Green leafed cookies.. Where are mine...LOL
The days have been wonderful but the GH isn't up so can't take a chance on the weatherman really getting it right.. I still have all of the nana's,gingers and EE's under the house but will try to get them out in the next week or so.. I plant the nana's in the ground I would hate for a cold snap .Besides it snowed 2 times just a week and a half ago.. LOL
Rigo.. I wish I could grow a Rose.. Sure death at my house...LOL

Rigo,
Is your rose a Lady Banks (Banksia?) I have three and just love them. If I can find one of the pic of a year or so ago I will post. Last year they didn't do so well.

Ok, I have yet to move anything out of the greenhouse. Both ends are open so the air is moving around in them. I'll probably start moving things out in the morning.

I have planted about 10,000 daffodils, and weeded about 1/2 an acre of iris beds. But other than that I haven't done anything this week. LOL

George tilled the garden spot which is huge and planted tomato, pepper, and squash today. Yelp, Karyn and Kristy, your seeds are in the ground. Hope they produce half as well as our squash did last year and we will be able to feed the entire neighbor hood squash this year or donate it to the Church for Harvest Time Sharing.

Oh, me I was wishing for it to warm up and I'm almost ready to wish for it to cool off just a tad. Today when they said it was in the 80's I said they must not be where I am, it felt like 100 while weeding the iris beds. I was hot, sweaty, dirty, and having a ball playing in the dirt. Of course it's going to take me about a week to recover. My back is screaming "Old Lady, your too old to be working me like this"! I just fall into bed each night after a nice hot shower. LOL

Hey which brugs are not safe to plant and leave in the ground here in Texas year round? I'd rather leave the ones I can in the ground and just mulch around them real good each year.

Happy Gardening Ya'll
Chenna, I'm glad you made it back home and your sister is doing ok.

Love Ya Marian

OH Marion I am so glad to hear George is doing so well..Tilling can be a chore...I leave most all of mine in the ground with mulch.. Of course I always take cuttings to share and just in case ;^)..so far Cherub ,Santa Rosa and Dbl Peach have little sprouts popping up...Everyone else is looking good. BUT I need to move several..We'll see how they respond to that...LOL

Marian, Sounds like George is all better. Tell him to take it easy even if he feels good, you don't have to get it done all at once. It's too far for me to come & help you or kick your butts. LOL

I went outside & measured the wild garlic. It & the daffodils are the only thing growing here. The daffs are just starting to show buds. The Star Magnolia is covered with buds. It was 64 today, whoo hoo! It's 48 now & raining. About another 6 weeks till the last frost date here.

I have started moving things out of the garage with the invasion of the mealy bugs. I could hardly get to everything to spray and squash them so I had to move somethings outside but everything is in the front yard under a tree in case I need to move them back in quick, lol. I am so afraid to do what I did last year. I moved all the big heavy stuff out which was all I had then and it snowed overnight when they said it was only going to get down to 39 and it stayed and kept snowing for 3 days. I thought I would lose my plummies but I got them in and cut off the black parts and they did fine. Marian I did tell you my squash needs to climb I hope or else it will spread out all over. I used to plant them next to a telephone pot and they went right up it. They have those clinging tendrils. If not then wait til they are up good and move them. I am planting the daffs now since I won't be home tomorrow. Lady banks get huge here this lady I met has one climbing to the top of a full grown tree in her yard. It was in the 90's today. Wow huh!

I don't know what it was like earlier in the week but today is beautiful. The gh is wide open and the citrus and jasmines are in full bloom. It smells delicious but it's supposed to get back down in the low 30's at night. Nothing will be going outside for at least a month.
Karyn

Kylie, I have a few color roses growing in the front yard. Had them blooming up till December.

Norma, Yes mine is a Lady Banks and I planted this for my wife. I love It just as much as she does.
