:) Don't you love it when the stuff can finally go out. It will be here soon for me too. I dragged everything back in here because we might get frost tonight.
Could your pink blooming vine be a mandevilla?
Shawn

Yes I feel your guys happiness too...I had to cover stuff and put back in the gh...I hope after this weekend...What A pain frost is..Lol :)

I have most of mine outside & it's supposed to be in the 30s tomorrow night. I have them all sitting together so I will put a frost cloth on if necessary. I'm glad I didn't get them planted all over the yard like I planned. Come on spring (I thought it was here).

I am not putting anything in the ground until after memorail day. Well, maybe a few that I could throw a sheet over, but not a lot. I refuse to dig anything up and drag it in, dragging the pots back in is bad enough.
Shawn

My gosh, I feel so sorry that you guys still have to fear the frost :-(
Shawn man, by the time you get to put your stuff all in the ground, I will be totally exhausted trying to get it all done before the summer heat really gets to me. I already got to quit in early afternoon being out there.

good Luck that no frost will come your way

Yup, Mandevilla alright! Just can't seem to remember that name. Okay, so I couldn't stand it, I spent the day putting all the plants out, cleaning up where they'd been inside, washing the windows, weeding my herb bed, and transplanting some veggies to pots for the deck. We had rain yesterday so I have to wait another day for more planting inground, but I'm just throwing caution to the wind here! You all just wait, in about 2 weeks I'll be crying about the big hail storm that inevitably comes.

I put everything out a bit too early but nothing was damaged from temps in the 30's but nothing really began growing until it warmed up. Of course it's cooled down again and we have more rain. I'm eventually going to be able to work in the yard but I might be wearing waders!

Oh Karyn....I would love to see a picture of you in waders lol.

I sure miss Daniella's pics lol

I hear boots and waders...and that is what her picture did to my mind roflmao

And here I am...watering all my transplanted plants daily just so the heat will not kill em off

Not only did I get all those plants outside, I bought a cute little wall fountain from Target and opened my bedroom window to enjoy the sound of the water all night long. I love spring!

I took last week off to work on cleaning out beds (how the heck did they collect so many leaves after I raked them out TWICE last fall?) and work on the pond. I was so sore by the end of the week I spend Friday afternoon trundling my 30+ parent plants in 3-4 gal pots on a dolly from the GH to the beds they will live in til its time to go to sleep again this fall. Then it got cold and wet with temps in the 30s overnight but everyone is looking healthy now. I got 5 in the ground last night after work and only 2 tonite when it started raining.......oh, well; 2-3 per night during the week will make the rest less overwhelming come Saturday............then I can start on cannas and dahlias! What painfull fun!

Will the good news is, once you start moving and you get over the initial pain....it only gets better. The speed you can go....stretches it out very nicely lol

At least you got the beds already. I am racing to MAKE them so I can put the brugs in the ground. I am NOT going around and pick up all those brug pots all season long when they fall over all the time.

good luck
Lucy
